Welcome to...
ART!
"It is important for us to remember that the arts provide a valuable service to students, for it presents them with a medium to express themselves in ways that otherwise might not be possible. In addition, studies have shown that participation in the fine arts is helpful in the overall educational development of students and is beneficial to one's mental well-being."
- Senator George Allen

"A Greek philosopher once said, 'The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.’ I believe instruction in the visual arts enriches our youngsters by opening their minds, broadening their horizons, and providing inspiration when, at times, words simply fail to adequately convey meaning.”
-Governor Tim Kaine
