Fine Arts Department

The Department of Fine Arts includes Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts. Fine Arts instruction in the Atlanta Public Schools is standards-driven, sequential, substantive, and comprehensive. Fundamental skills established in primary school are deepened and expanded upon each year so that our high school students graduate with appreciation of and skill in the arts. A quality Fine Arts program reflects the Georgia Quality Core Curriculum Standards in which students create, perform, produce; analyze critically and develop aesthetic understanding; demonstrate knowledge of artists, art history, and world cultures; and make connections among the content of the arts, other disciplines and everyday life.
