- arts as means of expression and communication
- the arts as means of exploration (e.g., self, ideas, societal issues)
- thoughts, images, and feelings evoked by and represented through the arts
- cultural, social, and historical contexts for the arts
- art forms that incorporate elements of more than one arts subject area (e.g., musical theatre, soundscape, dance drama, tableau, film)
- use of one art form to enhance another (e.g., use of music in drama, use of visual arts design principles in dance sets and costumes)
- specific skills and elements such as
- pattern, line, and form (e.g., choreographic form based on musical form)
- metre, rhythm, and tempo
- texture and harmony
- relationships and dynamics
- use of space
