History
Japanese Education (WWII)
I am translating a National School Timetable (1943) and am unsure about how to translate the various lessons for this subject. I know 芸能 is Performing Arts, but do not know what the following characters are abbreviations for. Any suggestions?

Liberal Arts
The word 芸能 is difined as:
[１ 映画・演劇・落語・歌謡・音楽・舞踊など、主に大衆演芸向けの娯楽の総称。「古典―」「―人」
２ 学問・芸術・技能などについてのすぐれた能力。
・ 「社会上の地位は何できまると云えば…第三には―で極る場合もある」〈漱石・野分〉
３ 教養として身につけなければならない学問・芸術などの技芸。礼・楽・射・御・書・数の六芸(りくげい)のほか、詩歌・書画・蹴鞠(しゅうきく)など。
４ 生花・茶の湯・歌舞音曲などの芸事。
http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/dsearch?enc=UTF-8&p=芸能&stype=0&dtype=...
In this case it means 3 of above. But in English setting (at least in America) these are collectively called "Liberal Arts" today.
Now the words in parenthesis are (Painting, Calligraphy, Sawing, and Handcrafting in that order).
Remember your material is written in 1943. Today the word 芸能 is used mostly for definition 1. above according to this on-line dictionary. But you do not need to be concerned about that under your context.

Art education curricula (drawing and painting, handicraft, calligraphy, and sewing)
I think “芸能” is equivalent to “art education curriculum” here (i.e. part of educational activities performed at that time in schools of Japan).
“図, 習, 裁, 工” refer to “図画 = drawing and painting”, “習字 = calligraphy”, “裁縫 = sewing” and “工作 = handicraft”, respectively.

Allow me to write them again in the proper order in which each subject is described as follows:
