THE FCDS FINE ARTS MISSION STATEMENT

Arts education is an essential component of each student’s education. The goals for each student at FCDS include an active engagement and immersion in the arts; nurturing a lifelong pursuit of creativity and cultural appreciation for the development of the total individual to develop artists and arts patrons.

As an artist and visual arts instructor, I support the National Art Education Association mission statement and "...affirm my faith in the power of the visual arts to enrich the lives and endeavors of humankind. In a highly technological society such as ours, the visual arts serve as a humanizing force, giving dignity and a sense of worth to the individual."
