Curriculum and syllabuses are all affected by different schools of thoughts. Those related to art are not an exception either. The purpose of this study is to introduce the idea of behavioral objectives and show how they can be of great effect on art curriculum, syllabuses and material development. Behavioral objectives provide a framework which has led to some progress in the design of educational systems including art material development. Although there are a couple of reservations against behavioral objectives, attempts must be made to repair the defects to arrive at a new and potentially more fruitful conceptualization of behavioral objectives.
