A Guide to TeachingArtsTeachingArts.org was created to provide teachers, students, parents and artists, working in the schools, with access to a variety of resources on the World Wide Web. From the Home Page users can access timely information such as monthly updates from the CDE, current grant information, and special events or news. Links are also found to the California Visual and Performing Arts Standards, Special Interest Groups and to the Virtual Arts Center.
Resources on the web are divided into seven categories and by the four arts disciplines. There are two pathways to the resources.
 One pathway is through the discipline tabs at the top of the page. Select an arts discipline from the four tabs, dance, music, theatre or visual arts. The tabs will indicate the discipline you have chosen - those above show that we are in Dance. Select a category from the sidebar on the main page of the discipline, by clicking on a folder. This will reveal the subcategories of information.
