Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education [|Show-Me Standards] [|Visual Art Grade Level Expectations (GLE's)] 9-12 GLEs are based upon teaching a full unit of art credit for four consecutive years. Since middle school art is not a pre-requisite to enrollment in high school art, the sequence for content and skills is built upon elementary GLEs. The GLEs are written for four sequential years of general art (2-D & 3-D). Schools may choose to offer four levels/four full years of general art, four years (eight semesters) of different media-specific courses (Drawing, Ceramics…), or a combination of the two. If a district offers media-specific courses such as Drawing or Ceramics, then the teachers select and expand GLEs that are appropriate to their specific media.
