Group 6: The Arts
Each student in the Utica Academy for International Studies will select an art focus that will progress throughout their four years. As the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Learner Profile requires students who are well balanced and culturally aware, the arts component of the curriculum is essential. Course emphasis is on creativity in the context of disciplined, practical research into the relevant genres. Students will have a choice of one of the following:
- Instrumental Music
- Vocal Music
- Visual Arts (Film Studies is an optional pathway in the 11th and 12th grades)
- Theatre Arts
The arts are an incredible asset to any culture. Arts are a reflection of the societies in which they are produced. Through the arts we see, hear and experience the evolution of culture.
