Abstract
Critics charge that inadequacies in math and science are responsible for the nation being “at risk.” Humanists point out that the nation is at risk for lack of values. Only the study of the arts and sciences provides the concepts and images with which life is construed by the educated mind. What then shall constitute required art education in grades 8/9–12? What is needed is a curriculum development project akin to those of the 60's in math, physics, biology, and chemistry, sponsored by an agency respected both by the academic and school establishments and by the general public.
