WHY STUDY VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS?Visual and Performing artists can inspire, teach, entertain, or move us. Using words, images or the unspoken language of dance and music, performing artists can create a bridge of imagination that brings people together. Studying Visual and Performing Arts helps develop self-expression, self-discipline, and builds confidence, creativity and communication skills.
