Art

 
Education in fine arts aims to provide all students, not only the gifted and talented, with knowledge and skills through creation, performance, and study. The arts provide a sense of civilization — they endow students with the ability to transcend language, culture, time, and space boundaries. The arts embody the human imagination — they define and distinguish us as human beings.
 
The arts play a role in cognition — they provide new and different ways to access meaning, perceive, solve, and understand.
 
The arts develop the critical elements necessary to interpret and respond to the artistic expression of others — they contribute to the ability to make informed opinions and choices about the products of the arts. The arts take place in the context of actual work — they allow students to make art while studying art. Learning by doing is essential in the arts. The arts foster student motivation — the richness of art experiences enlivens learning and provides a sense of satisfaction, joy, and personal fulfillment.
