Art
The mission of the Arts Department at QMHS is to build a safe space for creative expression and thoughtful problem solving. We foster individuality through the exploration of art materials, instruments, skills and concepts as well as encourage students to find ways to use the arts to support their communities through collaborative art and music making. Our classes also offer students a chance to explore and understand diverse perspectives by introducing students to a wide variety of art and music styles, cultures and identities. The arts at QMHS are hands-on, student centered and an integral part of the development of a well-rounded student body.
