  Fine Arts
 


Bosque values art education as integral to human education. By exploring the art forms of many cultures, the art curriculum develops technical skills, conceptual thought, personal growth, and new ways of seeing. Our standards incorporate and allow for ingenuity, and we highly value innovation.  The importance of play is never forgotten. Students visit local artists' studios, galleries, and museums and learn of local art activities to familiarize them with their own community's involvement in the arts. All student work is displayed within the school as well as in the larger community.

Performing Arts
Performing arts play an important role in shaping the learning experiences of all middle and upper school students at Bosque School. Rather than being classified as extracurricular, performing arts activities are treated as core subjects, and all students participate.

Middle school students enroll in band, chorus, drama or technical theater. Through their participation, they learn the techniques and skills necessary for their chosen art form. They also learn many important life skills - how to work effectively in groups, how to share responsibility for attaining goals, and how to express thoughts and emotions through performance.

Upper school students are required to participate for the equivalent of two years in the fine and performing arts. Students can satisfy this requirement both during the school day and through afternoon offerings in theater, music, and studio art.
