Landrum High School
Fine Arts Department
About
Landrum High School Fine Arts Department's goal is to inspire growth at the deepest level. Our concept of artistic growth includes intellectual depth, social maturity, and local and global awareness. It is our job to mentor students so that they can benefit from exposure to the arts and grow.
Each teacher within our department values the critical thinking skills acquired from attending a liberal arts university. Studying Fine Arts continues to be an excellent way to provide young people with powerful insights of critical thinking, emotional balance, creative problem solving, relationship building, articulating and analyzing the world we live in today. Building skills that will be necessary for a successful and enriching lifetime of learning.
