| Fine
Arts Department
The mission of the faculty and staff of the Paul
M. Dorman Fine Arts Program is to enrich the lives
of all students by providing quality exposure and
experiences in the arts.
Our Beliefs
1. We believe that awareness and knowledge of the
arts enhances the quality of life.
2. We believe that the study of
the arts awakens and refines the aesthetic sensibilities
of students and the community at large.
3. We believe that the arts provide
an important means of expression and communication.
4. We believe that the study of
the arts can promote the personal qualities of discipline,
leadership, and teamwork skills in students that can
carry over into other areas of school and life and
in this way, the arts serve the community by instilling
pride and promoting good citizenship.
5. We believe that an appropriate environment should
be created to foster artistic development for all
students.
6. We believe that students should
experience a sequential program of study reflecting
the components of aesthetic perception, cultural heritage,
aesthetic valuing, and creative expression.
7. We believe that all students
should connect arts experiences with other content
areas and daily life.
8. We believe that we must educate
all students for the future and promote the technologies
and skills needed for students to succeed.
9. We support the concept
of arts connoisseurship for all students and at the
same time promote arts career awareness and scholarship
for those who choose to pursue post-secondary study
in the field.
