Arts potentially transforms societies. Addressing equity in the arts, this project foregrounds South Asian forms of aesthetic expression, empowering diasporic youth. This is an art assessment model based upon the arts education standards for middle and high school in the United States. Diasporic Indian arts combine music, theatre, and dance in a transdisciplinary fashion. This assessment structure is applicable across honors programs in dance, music, as well as theatre. The K12 honors societies are affiliated to National Honor Society for Dance Arts, Tri-M Music Honor Society, and International Thespian Society. The honors program for dance is called dNc Scouts and Guides. The honors program for music is called dNcCHORUS. Students are required to enter their respective honors programs and complete their assessments based on grade level. Upon completion students will receive a certificate from Great River Learning.
