Artsource Curriculum - Dance, Music and Theatre Unit Lessons

From part of a press release from The Music Center in Los Angeles in October:

"The Music Center’s Artsource units were adopted by North Carolina’s Department of Education, and, in 1995, The Music Center partnered with McGraw-Hill to integrate elements of Artsource into the publisher’s elementary, middle and high school visual arts textbooks. This collaboration produced textbooks adopted in California that were used in classrooms nationwide. In its most recent iteration, Artsource, including all units, is now available as a digital resource on The Music Center’s web site."

Furthermore the press release said "Each Artsource unit is enriched with audio-visual materials, examples of discussion questions and sample lessons. There are participation activities for three different levels of experience – beginning, intermediate and advanced. Units are grounded in the voice of the artists and provide a window into the artistic process."

This site has 30 Dance, 23 Music and 16 Theatre unit plans.  To see the website click here.
