The Fine Arts Diploma Seal is awarded to graduating high school students who complete a
Fine Arts Pathway in Dance, Music, Theatre, or Visual Art by taking a series of three full credits in one fine arts subject area. Pathway completion denotes mastery in one art form.
Students who complete a fourth credit in the arts, complete 20 hours of arts-related community service, and a capstone project are eligible for the Fine Arts Diploma Seal in approved school districts.
The Fine Arts Diploma Seal encourages schools and students to engage in Fine Arts Pathway courses, but also signals to employers and higher education institutions that a student is prepared to participate in the creative economy.
A few CTAE courses satisfy the creative industries focus coursework but cannot be used in substitution for a Fine Arts Pathway. Ideally, students would complete a Fine Arts pathway and the requirements for the creative industry skills could be completed through and additional fine arts course or a CTAE Arts, AV, or Architecture CTAE courses. These courses are listed on the Creative Industries course list, which can be found on the Georgia Department of Education website (https://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Curriculum-and-Instruction/Pages/Fine-Arts.aspx).
