Since the beginning of time, the desire to create a
visual vocabulary has been as innate in every society as
the desire to acquire a system of spoken symbols.
Through visual arts courses students learn to use art
media, techniques and processes to communicate context,
ideas and themes. They are encouraged to develop
an understanding of the relationship among art forms,
and between their work and the work of others.
They are able to relate understandings about the
historical and cultural context of art to situations in
contemporary life. They are expected to develop a
broad and in-depth understanding of the meaning and
impact of visual arts and the visual world in which they
live.
Studying art provides a basis for further growth that
extends to all disciplines in school and to life in
general.
