The Centennial School District promotes a dynamic and diverse art curriculum. Coursework is rooted in the fundamental skills required of a fine artist, while also supporting the creative exercises needed for our students to excel in a rapidly evolving visual society. Artists are on the frontline of innovation as they can be leaders for a design-thinking culture. Our emerging artists identify situations, dissect the elements, rearrange the parts, and create new solutions through a myriad of materials. STEAM, an educational powerhouse in our school systems today, is the merging together of the sciences, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Art education encourages and nurtures our students to be empathetic designers and problem solvers, both cornerstones of STEAM education. Works of art are generated through an interest in learning and a growing awareness of aesthetics. It is our goal, therefore, to provide a safe environment where fine artists and eclectic thinkers thrive and are highly prepared for the quick-paced visual culture of our contemporary society.
