Grants for Arts Projects: Learning in the Arts for Children and Youth: The Learning in the Arts for Children and Youth category offers funding for projects that help children and youth acquire appreciation, knowledge, and understanding of and skills in the arts. Projects must provide participatory learning and engagement of students with skilled artists, teachers, and excellent art. We also require that funded projects ensure the application of national, state, or local arts education standards. The following components are required in all projects submitted to the Learning in the Arts category: . Experience: Students and their teachers will have the chance to experience exemplary works of art - in live form where possible. These works may come from one or more of the arts disciplines. . Study: Students, with the guidance of teachers and those who present the arts, study those works of art in order to understand the cultural and social context from which they came, and to appreciate the technical and/or aesthetic qualities of each work. Where appropriate, study should focus on the acquisition of skills relevant to practicing the art form introduced.. Performance: Having experienced and studied works of art, students will make art within the discipline(s) studied. In the case of literature projects, the primary creative activities will be writing and/or recitation. Museum education programs also might use writing assignments to fulfill this requirement. . Assessment: In their study and performance, students will be assessed according to national, state, or local arts education standards. Where possible and appropriate, multiple forms of assessment, including pre- and post-testing, will be used.
