Fine, Performing, and Media Arts are studied, taught, created, and experienced so students can become literate in an art form. Gaining literacy in an art form allows students to communicate in a language that shapes culture on both an individual and communal level. To truly communicate requires understanding what we see and hear, as well as actively participating in the conversation. The Arts celebrate the value of human life by providing people a voice. Students who participate in Fine, Performing, and Media Arts practice creative problem-solving, build collaboration skills, hone communication techniques ( as a listener, speaker, reader, and writer), and develop strong critical analysis practices.
