Integrated Arts

Integrated Fine Arts is a course designed to explore self-expression and collaboration across the fine and performing arts. Students will be able to explore basic techniques of art forms outside their conservatory, as well as to create projects that integrate various art forms and allow them to think more broadly about collaboration, improvisation, and self-expression in the arts. Students will also practice evaluating their work and the works of others using clear and objective language that will aid the revision process. As they seek inspiration for their projects, students will explore the interrelationship of visual art, music, drama, dance, and literature, comparing the development of different art forms over time and the transfer of ideas between different artists.
