The stage is the classroom.
At GHS, our Fine Arts program views every student as an emerging artist. The Arts are vital to the development of the whole child. The importance of the Arts is clear: while stimulating imagination and self-expression, the Arts hold a significant role in the development of critical thinking, responsible decision-making and cultural awareness. Students develop abilities and habits of mind that empower learning across curriculums. They will design, revise and reflect on their own work to solve aesthetic problems and analyze other's creative efforts. We strive to encourage the leader and artist in every child to help them comprehend and appreciate the importance of creativity in our global society.
Rigorous Fine Arts instruction produces self-motivated, adaptable, productive, lifelong learners, equipped for the challenges of the global workforce.

In addition to skills that are specific to careers in fine arts, you can also acquire general, transferable skills as a result of your studies. These skills can be applied to any careers that are, and are not, directly related you degree:
• The ability to develop individual ideas, think critically, collaborate with others
• Strong observational, research and analytical skills
• Creative problem solving
• The ability to learn from criticism and be objective about your work
• Adaptability to new influences and concepts
• The ability to meet deadlines
If you decide to pursue a career in a creative field of any kind, it is strongly recommended that you develop and maintain a portfolio of your best and most recent work, as it is extremely difficult to secure employment without one.
A good place to start the development of a portfolio is by building and collecting works while you’re in school. Get as much experience as you can working on school productions or art exhibits.
Speaking to teachers and professors to learn about both in-school and off-campus opportunities. But don’t limit yourself to these routes, you can also actively pursue opportunities outside of school to volunteer your services, as this is a great way to practice skills and add to your portfolio.
