Giving students the choice of how to best express themselves:

- produces a more authentic expression of their ideas.
They will:
- gain an understanding, knowledge and appreciation of materials, tools, techniques
- historical and cultural influential factors contributing to works of art
- learn to analyze, evaluate and discuss work of art
Student’s will receive the best art education possible while developing their creative confidence, discovering their full creative potential and enjoying the process of creating art.Creativity increases with PRACTICE. The image in our head may not match what we create on paper, canvas or clay and this is true even for very experienced artists. It does get better the more we do. We should never give up or run ourselves down when what happens in the real world does not match what we see in our heads. We need to use what did happen to learn about ourselves and our art. No matter what path students pursue, their experience in art will enhance their lives, strengthen their ability to solve problems, understand others, and appreciate the world around them, essential abilities in the Conceptual Age.
