Fine Arts Division Philosophy
Departments of the Fine Arts Division include the Visual Arts, Music, and World Languages. They all focus on the need for individual expression and communication with others. Each area nurtures the internal development of creativity, intuition, reasoning, and imagination and offers a unique means by which thoughts and feelings can be conveyed to familiar and foreign societies. It is the belief of the Division that through these timeless disciplines, students will come to appreciate civilizations past and to contribute to the future advancement of the individual and society.
Music Department Philosophy
Focusing on the production, understanding, and value of music, students will come to understand the written piece within its time and context and apply such to their own realities. The skills, knowledge, and habits formed will enrich students’ life experiences.
