Art is a vital part of every child's development. Art is a way of understanding one's self, one's society, and other cultures. Art provides the means for expressing and communicating thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Art education provides the gifts of vision, appreciation, and joy for the student to take into the world. Every student at Nonnewaug High School will have a quality art education with selfexpression at the heart of the program.

Students will experience art as a visual language involving a unique body of knowledge. They will develop perception, imagination, the ability to communicate and think critically as they engage in the program at every level.

Students will learn through a series of organized art experiences to look, discover, and understand. Their original and creative work will tap inner resources and give a personal sense of satisfaction and confidence.
