Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

indicator text - p.126: this indicator is coded B6 1.4.7, strand 1 (Visual Arts), but its own wording is about performing arts ("international performing artists", "performing artworks"), the page heading above it reads "Strand 2: Performing Arts", and B6 2.4.7 on printed pp 128-129 covers the same three topics for Performing Arts. All three indicators of B6 1.4.7 (printed pp 126 and 127) have this problem. Transcribed as printed; strand_code follows the indicator code
