The Fine Arts Department travels each year to perform and participate in workshops.
Through the venue of travel, students learn to live and work together as a community, observe and analyze art from a Christian worldview perspective, and experience other cultures. By attending professional performances, students view the application of the skills and knowledge they have learned in their classes and productions. Students gain an understanding of work ethic, discipline, artistry, and creative abilities in working with professionals in the fields of visual and performing arts.
