Definition of Visual and Performing Arts Identification
A student is identified as exhibiting “visual or performing arts ability” superior to that of children of similar age if the student has done both of the following:
(1) Demonstrated through a display of work, an audition, or other performance or exhibition, superior ability in a visual or performing arts area;
(2) Exhibited sufficient performance, as established by the Department of Education, on an approved checklist of behaviors related to a specific arts area.
