VISUAL ARTS IS.
Visual Arts is an integral part of our daily lives.
There is immense value in the process of art-making
and teaching students the value of mindful creation through Visual Arts
Visual Arts is a gift to our world, our society, our children, and to ourselves.
Visual Arts has social, political, ritual, spiritual, decorative, and functional value.
Visual Arts can be persuasive and subversive.
Visual Arts can be enlightening, thought-provoking, and inspiring.
The theories and practices of Visual Arts are dynamic and ever-changing,
connecting different areas of knowledge and human experience.
Visual Arts enable us to make sense of the world,
to explore our place within it and to transform our individual
and collective ways of being in and with the world.
