Fine Arts Concentration
The Fine Arts concentration fosters a vibrant, supportive environment where students are encouraged to bravely engage in the creative process while pursuing excellence in their chosen discipline. While in the Fine Arts concentration, students will develop creative, critical, and divergent thinking, empowering them to solve problems both independently and collaboratively. Students will hone their artistic skills through practice, discipline, and constructive critique, while learning to synthesize knowledge and personal experiences in their creative work. They will learn how to generate innovative ideas, communicate through artistic literacy, and appreciate diverse cultures and perspectives. Ultimately, students will discover and refine their artistic voice, deepening their ability to interpret and respond to the world.
Senior Capstone
The Capstone course is a requirement for all Fine Arts Concentration students in the final semester of their senior year. Students engage in a self-directed project or performance to demonstrate the application and synthesis of skills and concepts gained from the courses and experiences of their chosen focus area. Working in close conjunction with Fine Arts faculty, students have the opportunity to explore a question or idea that intrigues them in a collaborative setting, allowing them to create, critique, and present their work to an audience. The Capstone also demonstrates the student’s ability to articulate the research and creative process of the work. The course concludes with a student-directed community showcase and serves as the culmination of each student’s experience as a Fine Arts Concentration student.
