“Framers and Writers” should not have been capitalized unless it was written in the 1700s. I realize it is carried forward from the State’s website, but they have opened the doors for criticism.
Does anyone agree the art standards have unnecessary references to photography? There are quite a few standards labeled as specific to a course that can be worded more generally to become applicable to anything within the arts.
Let’s take this opportunity to get rid of ed-speak and get more real art terminology so that it is more clearly worded for practitioners.
Yes, this was brought over directly from the state website, but only because I want to generate awareness of the opportunity to review. Most times the public doesn’t really know about these type of opportunities, which I try to bring over. And you are correct about framers and writers.
But again was brought over as information access to the public, which our government tends to make difficult and most newspapers don’t publicize. It’s not death and murder, so it doesn’t get headlines.
