(c) Research and engage (e.g., in person, online) with artists from various cultural backgrounds to explore connections between the arts and diverse worldviews.
(d) Examine the work of artists who incorporate diverse disciplines within their arts practice (e.g., STEAM - science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) and incorporate interdisciplinary ideas into own work.
