The Arts<br />

A strong art education is important and<br />

essential for every child. Art experiences in<br />

music and studio art invite learners to be<br />

a part of the world of art – giving students<br />

confidence by engaging and validating<br />

their own ideas and questions. Studio art<br />

gives students the opportunity to explore<br />

many materials and how ideas change<br />

with each material. Through these art<br />

explorations students are challenged<br />

to develop their own unique voices,<br />

while at the same time they are able to<br />

discover the unique voices of those<br />

around them. Music can help set our<br />

hearts into creative freedom through a jazz<br />

tune or it can help organize our thoughts<br />

through a Mozart symphony. There is<br />

research claiming that music opens the<br />

brain to better learning. It can help us<br />

find and develop our relationship with<br />

God as well as get along with each other<br />

in school, home and the world around<br />

us. Music and art are studied at all grade<br />

levels.<br />
