Standard 3: Responding
to and Analyzing Works of Art
3. Students will express through written and
oral language their understanding, interpretation, and evaluation
of dances they see, do, and read about. Students will acquire the
critical vocabulary to talk and write about a variety of dance forms.
Students:
- make comparisons of the nature and principles
of dance to other arts (a)
- analyze and describe similarities and differences
in different dance forms and styles (b)
- describe and compare a variety of choreographic
approaches used in the creation of dances (c).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- compare the rhythm found in a particular
dance with the rhythm in a musical piece and with the rhythm found
in a painting
- do a short research paper in which they
trace the origins of modern dance
- observe several choreographers working to
create their dances and then compare, contrast, and describe the
processes
- interview a choreographer regarding the
origins of the ideas for the choreography, including cultural,
esthetics, personal, and other influences and document that interview
to share with the class
- write a detailed report of the influence
of dance education on the student's understanding of other cultures
and other disciplines.
