| Prepare= | The groundwork phase where individuals gather inspiration, conduct research, and brainstorm potential ideas. Benefits include assistance in gaining new knowledge. |
| Develop= | The phase where ideas are fleshed out, plans are formulated, and concepts are refined through visualization. This stage encourages idea generation. |
| Create= | The stage where ideas come to life through various mediums; assets are gathered, content is produced, and initial refinements are made. This stage promotes student collaboration. |
| Revise= | The stage where the creation is evaluated and discussed; feedback from peers or instructors informs specific improvements. This facilitates critical analysis. |
| Reflect= | The final stage where artists look back on their journey, identify growth, and celebrate success to gain insight. This encourages insightful thinking. |
| Create= | Teachers guide students to conceptualize, generate, and organize artistic ideas. |
| Perform/Present/Produce= | Focuses on improving techniques, interpreting meaning, and sharing creative work to bring it to life. |

| Movement= | The visual flow or path created to guide the viewer's eye through the work. |
| Pattern= | The repetition of visual elements in a consistent and predictable manner to create rhythm. |
| Proportion= | The size, scale, and relative dimensions of elements to ensure they are visually harmonious. |
| Unity= | The cohesive relationship between all elements in a design, creating a sense of completeness. |
| Elements of Music= | Music is organized sound defined by five primary characteristics. |
| Rhythm= | A consistent pattern of movement or sound, including beat, meter, and tempo. |
| Melody= | A sequence of notes that create a memorable tune or theme. |
| Harmony= | The simultaneous playing of different notes to form chords. |
| Form= | The overall structure or organization of a musical composition. |
| Expression= | The way emotion or mood is conveyed throughout a performance. |
| Elements of Dance (BEAST)= | Dance uses the body as an instrument through five core elements. |
| Body= | How dancers use their physical form to express themselves, including flexibility and coordination. |
