Can courses in photography, graphic arts, costume design, or jewelry-making be used for arts credit?
The New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJCCCS) define the visual and performing arts as dance, music, theatre, and the visual arts. Courses such as photography, graphic arts, costume design, or jewelry-making may fulfill the graduation requirement if they are aligned to the cumulative progress indicators articulated in the NJCCCS for the Visual & Performing Arts. The course must be taught from an aesthetic foundation as a function of creating art versus technical production. Teachers must be certified in the specific arts domains for which they are delivering instruction. All three of the above conditions must be met in order for the course to receive arts credit.
