PO-GE C3 Arts, Humanities, and Culture Communicate effectively in many different situations involving diverse people and viewpoints. Analyze the variety of forms of expression and how those are used to communicate social, cultural, and personal ideas, feelings, and concepts; Show how and why the visual and performing arts are unique and how inherent meaning in the arts transcends written and verbal communication; Effectively communicate and express themselves and make themselves understood through visual, auditory, tactile, and symbolic means. Connect knowledge of self and society to larger cultural contexts. IO - Aesthetics Apply and relate theories of aesthetics to everyday life. Utilize the creative process to explain universal values such as beauty and truth. Apply imagination to artistic expression.
