Depending on the curriculum, these crosswalks should identify alignment to some of the standards mentioned below, as well as possible related academic topics as required in the Subject Area Testing Program in Algebra I, Biology I, English II, and U.S. History from 1877, which could be integrated into the content of the units. Mississippi’s Graphic Design I curriculum is aligned to the following standards: National Core Arts Standards The National Coalition for Core Arts Standards (NCCAS) developed the most recent version of the National Core Arts Standards in 2014. These standards are based on the four artistic processes of creating, performing/producing/presenting, responding, and connecting. The NCCAS has created standards around these four artistic processes for dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts for pre-K through 12th grade.

Appendix: National Core Arts Standards National Core Arts Standards and MS-CCR Media Arts Crosswalk for Graphic Design I The National Core Arts Standards from the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards (NCCAS) include national media arts standards for PreK-12th grade. There are four artistic processes (Creating, Producing, Responding, and Connecting) and 11 anchor standards within those four categories. At the high school level (Grades 9-12), there are three levels of achievement to obtain, including proficient, accomplished, and advanced. Each level is simply a different depth of understanding and mastery for the same anchor standard. For the simplicity of this document, we have aligned to only the proficient level of each anchor standard. The Mississippi College- and Career-Readiness Arts Learning Standards for Media Arts has adopted NCCAS standards, therefore the alignment table is the same for both. Creating • Anchor Standard 1: Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. o MA: Cr1.1.I – Use identified generative methods to formulate multiple ideas, develop artistic goals, and problem solve in media arts creation processes. • Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and work. o MA: Cr2.1.I – Apply aesthetic criteria in developing, proposing, and refining artistic ideas, plans, prototypes, and production processes for media arts productions, considering original inspirations, goals, and presentation context.

Determine how elements and components can be altered for clear communication and intended effects, and refine media artworks to improve clarity and purpose. Producing • Anchor Standard 4: Select, analyze, and interpret artistic work for presentation. o MA: Pr4.1.I – Integrate various arts, media art forms, and content into unified media arts productions, considering the reaction and interaction of the audience, such as experiential design. • Anchor Standard 5: Develop and refine artistic techniques and work for presentation. o MA: Pr5.1.I – Demonstrate progression in artistic, design, technical, and soft skills due to selecting and fulfilling specified roles in the production of a variety of media artworks. Develop and refine a determined range of creative and adaptive innovation abilities, such as design thinking and risk-taking, in addressing identified challenges and constraints within and through media arts productions. Demonstrate adaptation and innovation through the combination of tools, techniques, and content in standard and innovative ways to communicate intent in the production of media artworks. • Anchor Standard 6: Convey meaning through the presentation of artistic work. o MA: Pr6.1.I – Design the presentation and distribution of collections of media artworks, considering combinations of artworks, formats, and audiences. Evaluate and implement improvements in presenting media artworks, considering personal and local impacts such as the benefits for self and others. Responding • Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic work. o MA: Re7.1.I – Analyze the qualities of and relationships between the components, style, and preferences communicated by media artworks and artists. Analyze how a variety of media artworks manage audience experience and create intention through multimodal perception. • Anchor Standard 8: Interpret intent and meaning in artistic work. o MA: Re8.1.I – Analyze the intent, meanings, and reception of a variety of media artworks, focusing on personal and cultural contexts. • Anchor Standard 9: Apply criteria to evaluate artistic work. o MA: Re9.1.I – Evaluate media artworks and production processes at decisive stages using identified criteria and considering context and artistic goals. Connecting • Anchor Standard 10: Synthesize and relate knowledge and personal experiences to make art. o MA: Cn10.1.I – Access, evaluate, and integrate personal and external resources to inform the creation of original media artworks such as experiences, interests, and cultural experiences. Explain and demonstrate the use of media artworks to expand meaning and knowledge and create cultural experiences, such as learning and sharing through online environments. • Anchor Standard 11: Relate artistic ideas and work with societal, cultural, and historical context to deepen understanding. o MA: Cn11.1.I – Demonstrate and explain how media artworks and ideas relate to various contexts, purposes, and values such as social trends, power, equality, and personal/cultural identity. Critically evaluate and effectively interact with legal, technological, systemic, and vocational contexts of media arts, considering ethics, media literacy, social media, virtual worlds, and digital identity.
