Arts

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. - Pablo Picasso

The Arts at St. Mary's explores visual arts, music, and theatre, with emphasis placed on practical production by the students and exploration of a range of creative work in a global context.  The arts celebrates multiple perspectives. One of the large lessons is that there are many ways to see and interpret the world. The objective is for students to understand how the arts plays a role in developing and expressing personal and cultural identities;  appreciate how the arts innovate and communicate across time and culture; become informed and reflective practitioners of the arts; experience the process of making art in a variety of situations; explore, express and communicate ideas; become more effective learners, inquirers and thinkers; develop self‑confidence and self‑awareness through art experiences; and, appreciate life-long learning in and enjoyment of the arts.
