The Arts
Students learn through creative expression: they learn to understand and analyze, to problem-solve and to self-express, and they learn about themselves and the world around them. So while they strum, stroke, sing, or sculpt, they learn a new way to express themselves and convey feelings; students learn to become active meaning-makers, not passive recipients.
By learning from the entire symbolic range, students evolve as both artists and learners of the arts. Through language and art, dance and movement, photography, film and multimedia, students learn to understand the essence of things – of people, culture, art, business, sciences, politics – and the nuances within them.
