Fine arts are artistic skills and endeavors that do not strive to create something useful per se. They strive for beauty in a general sense, and so are ideal to free children from slavery to utilitarianism. Our students develop the fine arts and so discover that not everything is measured in terms of usefulness, but that they must see – as God sees – the intrinsic good of many beautiful things. ´
Our students are educated in creating artistically with paint, drawing, and clay. They learn the art of poetry, and become immersed in beautiful narrative and poetic works. They engage in intricate and compelling works for theater, learning to understand different characters from within, and represent them meaningfully. Art is not simply an outlet for restless minds, but an inlet for light to pervade, so we can look at the world around us, knowing it is complex and symbolic, not simplistic and just as it meets the eye.
