Mission Statement
Students of art will engage in art production, as well as a study of art heritage, art criticism and aesthetics. They will develop perceptual awareness, creativity, self-expression, aesthetic literacy, problem solving and critical thinking skills. Through the study of art, students will have enhanced self-esteem, self awareness, and an understanding of past and present world cultures.
Students will:
· explore a variety of media and methods
· practice and improve technical skills
· communicate with other people through visual images
· have confidence in their abilities as artists
· participate in critiques and develop confident aesthetic judgments
· experiment with divergent and original thinking and solutions to problems
· make connections between art and their everyday lives, other disciplines and other times and cultures
