High school arts and humanities includes the completion of one credit which is required for graduation from high school. The course History and Appreciation of Visual and Performing Arts includes study of dance, drama, music, and visual arts in discipline based and historical contexts. Schools can fulfill the course requirement by offering a stand-alone course or use content embedding options where curriculum components of the arts and humanities course are covered in other required courses. Specialized arts courses such as art, music, dance, or drama courses may also be used to fulfill the high school graduation requirement as long as the content for the given art form from the Kentucky Program of Studies is included in the instruction.
