BLACK RIVER FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT

ART DEPARTMENT Mission Statement

The Black River Falls Art Department is dedicated to the belief that art and life are inseparable.

Art is, perhaps, humanity’s essential and most universal language.

Art education is fundamental in fostering a balanced individual and society.

It is the vehicle for continuous intellectual and creative development.

Art experiences encourage the development and application of all academic curriculum standards.

A cohesive art education program encourages divergent and creative solutions to design problems.

The ability to think, increased skills in communication, production of quality work, connecting with and using design as a universal developmental skill all give the individual opportunities for reflection on past experiences and a strong knowledge base for future problem solving.
