The Arts at Bush

Creative. Expressive. Free-thinking.

The Bush School Art Department strives to release, develop, and share our imaginative and creative selves, individually and collectively, by:
 
  • investigating elements and principles of design and performance;
  • exploring linear and non-linear styles of learning, risk-taking, and expressing;
  • celebrating and integrating the pursuit of viewing the world aesthetically.

Bush’s Art Department includes the visual arts, music, and theatre. The course offerings are diverse and designed to progress students' skill levels and classroom experiences. The unique and original expression derived from group and individual efforts is valued. Critiques and evaluation are integral to assessing students’ work.
 
Expression is encouraged by providing students with a foundation of skills and experiences in order to approach the realm of ideas, symbols, and concepts.

“The arts are not a frill. They are the intellectual and creative birthright of every child.”
