Through our fine arts courses in Visual Art, Theatre, Music and Dance, students learn to appreciate and engage in the arts as a spectator and as an agent for their own self-making.  Our program is varied and rich; we provide learning experiences for those who are adept at artistic expression and for those who have never ventured into the creative realm of academics.

Students are urged to find their own distinctive style of creative art-making in all disciplines after examining contemporary and classic models.  They are encouraged to use a critical approach to their art-making via conversation with their peers and teachers, problem-solving, and even failure.  Students learn to construct, deconstruct and reconstruct their art in order to grow and transform their own artistic experiences.

Most of our classes have an element of performance, such as art shows, dramatic productions, or concerts.  It is our goal to make Fine Arts accessible and enjoyable for all students in order to instill in them the importance of the arts as a vehicle for spiritual and cultural expression.
