Ohio Visual Art Standards

Ohio's Learning Standards for visual art emphasize the need for lifelong learning in visual art. The standards guide and inspire teachers to design high-quality instruction through the following Artistic Processes:

• Creating;

• Performing;

• Responding; and

• Connecting.

The new standards provide certified visual art educators with a framework that closely matches the unique goals of their specialized classes. The standards are sequential and presented in a grade-by-grade sequence from kindergarten through grade 8, and at four high school levels: Proficient, Intermediate, Accomplished, and Advanced while being vertically and horizontally aligned.
