1. Art
The Visual Arts in education
provides the learner with the ability to develop skills that are useful in
life as well as in other areas of academia. The Visual Arts can help to
enhance hand-eye coordination, refine motor skills (both fine and large),
depth perception, analysis, and communication. From the beginning of the
developmental stage, the learner will be exposed to concepts and skills that
they may or may not have realized they do as day to day activities. The
learner will also be able to see for him or herself with guidance, how the
other arts and the academics are interrelated, such as with math and design.
The learner will also develop skills for problem solving and be able to
apply them to the creation of a visual work of art of their own doing.

2. Music
The Fine Art of Music has
become an integral part of our everyday lives, at work or at play. As a part
of our educational system, Music will allow the learner to develop skills
such as group learning, analysis, problem solving, and communication with
musical terminology.
The learner will also be
exposed to how music has made many changes in styles, and techniques. The
learner will also be able to distinguish how music has been an important
aspect of how we relate to and describe historical periods, and other
cultures. During all these experiences, the learner will also come to see
how it is that music had stayed the same at its foundations, and how it is
changing to meet the needs of a changing society. During the learning
process, the learner will be exposed to repetitive skills for reinforcement.
Since many of the skills are performance based, this repetition is vital to
the foundation as well as the advanced phase of learning.
