The overall goals of the visual arts department are to:
- Provide a sequential, cumulative program of concepts and skills from
ninth through twelfth grade.
- Promote interest in a variety of artistic fields taught through Creation,
Performance and Responses.
- Promote visual literacy through studies in art history, aesthetics,
art appreciation and art criticism as well as through studio experience.
- Provide students with experiences that promote individual learning
styles, self-awareness of their faith and their place in the global
community.
- Provide experiences in concept development, interpretation, application
and evaluation, creative problem solving, critical thinking and expression.
- Promote interdisciplinary experiences which aid students in the integration
of ideas, concepts and processes, and in a holistic perception of their
world.
- Promote understanding of the diverse cultures in society as reflected in the arts in order to prepare students to appropriately participate in the present and contribute to the future.
