Fine Arts

Explore - Think -  Solve - Nurture

Welcome to the Plum Borough School District's Fine Arts Department. This is a place where students come to creatively and esthetically express themselves, a place where they can learn to create, perform, contribute to, and appreciate the arts!



Mission:

Our mission in the Fine Arts  Department is to contribute to well-rounded, exceptionally prepared students through excellence in educational practices,  performance opportunities,  and opportunities for creative expression.


Why Fine Arts Education:

The study of the Arts is important to the quality of every student's life. These experiences are an important contributor to students' overall success at school. Arts education helps kids engage with school and reduce stress, develop social-emotional and interpersonal skills, enrich their experiences, handle constructive criticism,  bolster academic achievement, and improve focus.  Through drawing, sculpting, painting, singing, and playing instruments, students express themselves creatively.   A knowledge of fundamental principles of the arts, and skills in analysis, evaluation, and synthesis enable students to recognize and pursue excellence in their musical or artistic experiences and to understand and enrich their environment.
