Art
We encourage exploration and creativity while creating structured classes that focus on a particular skill or type of art that encourages conversation. Art increases students' verbal expression through being able to better describe the visuals they are seeing. It increases their analytical skills. Our Art program will encourage students to organize and develop ideas by expressing their artistic work through interpretation.
