Thank you for your feedback! Since launching our blog post about the upcoming Core Knowledge Sequence update, we have received hundreds of comments from stakeholders across the country and around the world.
This review will be an iterative process, consisting not only of multiple opportunities for the Core Knowledge community to share thoughts and insight, but also time for subject matter experts to weigh in.
Along those lines, we are pleased to share some of the recommended updates to the Visual Arts portion of the Sequence proposed by our subject matter expert, Tempest NueCollins.
You can access the suggested changes by using this link. You are welcome to review all or grade-level specific content. We will collect feedback throughout the month of July. This survey will close on July 31, 2020.

My co-teachers are looking at CKLA grades K-5, which has been approved by Arkansas. I teach grade 6. I’m looking for samples of that curriculum hoping it will also be approved. I would l love to see a sample of that curriculum.
