MISSION STATEMENT for ART
The mission of art education in the Pittsford Central School District is to prepare students to be visually literate, foster an appreciation for the arts, express or communicate original ideas, and understand the interdisciplinary and cultural connections to the world in which they live.
As a result of participating in the PCSD Art program, students will be able to independently …
-
develop independent and critical thinking skills;
-
demonstrate willingness to experiment, innovate and take risks to pursue the process of art making or designing;
-
respond and reflect upon the artistic expression of others through global understanding, critical stance, personal connection and interpretation;
-
engage in the artistic process through the use of appropriate materials to independently create artwork;
-
collaborate ethically to create and share artwork/ideas with others.
-
exchange and develop new ideas that connect people.
