MEDIA ARTS
“Media arts may include the following disciplines: video, animation, web design, graphic design, virtual design, and interactive design.”
DANCE
“Students transform concepts and ideas into movement for artistic expression, and gain a greater personal connection to the socio-cultural and political meanings and expressions of dance.”
MUSIC
“Students make music come alive by either singing, listening, playing, moving, reading and/or composing. They make musical decisions, think critically about them, and relate to them personally.”
