          Vision:  Aesthetic Awareness

              and Cultural Connection

The Fine Arts of St. Francis School encompass the areas of art, humanities, and music.  We strive to create a safe environment that fosters confident and creative performers.  We encourage our students to create original and meaningful artwork, unique musical compositions, and to become thoughtful, compassionate people who have a deeper appreciation and understanding for the life of artists and for life itself.  All three disciplines offer avenues to enhance a child’s aesthetic awareness while making cultural connections to the arts.

                     Student Goals 

Students will: 

• Increase their knowledge of the arts and the relationship between these disciplines. 
• Be given opportunities for experimentation, manipulation, and skill acquisition through creating, performing, and observing. 
• Be guided towards awareness of the qualities in the arts that give it meaning through practice in aesthetic judgment. 
• Develop an understanding and appreciation of creativity and artistic ability as a contribution to self and society.
