The major purpose of this project was to plan, implement, and evaluate a high school one-semester experimental curriculum stressing the communicative aspects of the arts and humanities as a means of student self-discovery and realization. The curriculum consisted of 4 major unit, composed of individual study modules, on popular media and on visual, aural, and verbal communication. Each study module began by having the student confront some kind of artistic experience presented as close to the artist's intentions as possible. This was followed by activities which encouraged student examination of the experience and which led to a second experience culminating in an evaluative project. A psychological inventory, a design judgment test, and a musical sensitivity test were administered to the experimental and three comparison classes at the beginning and conclusion of the semester. It could not be demonstrated that the experimental curriculum had significantly affected tolerance, flexibility, or specific facets of art or music. However, on the basis of student self-portraits, it was concluded that there was a significant enhancement of self-concept.
