NGP Arts

In conjunction with the English, history, and science programs, students receive a foundation in the skills associated with creativity and artistic expression. Students develop their ability to respect the creative space of the classroom; to experience the creative process of making art; to take risks with their thoughts, feelings, and ideas; to develop artistic voice; to understand and appreciate the uniqueness of their own work and respect the work of others; to explore playfully and spontaneously through different mediums; and to observe closely works of art and to be able to respond critically and articulately. Students leave the program prepared for meaningful and disciplined study in any of the arts — dance, music, theatre, and visual arts.
