Cary Academy approaches the arts from two perspectives. First, students have the opportunity to experience several disciplines in the arts, learning the basic principles and techniques of each discipline in hands-on work in the studio. This two-fold approach toward the arts and their history and influence comes together in individual and group projects. Through the arts, students experience the relationships among developing ideas and explore the creative process through a variety of media.
Students also learn to enjoy the arts for their own sake.
Our hope is that students will have experiences that will affect them deeply, touch the inexpressible, and connect beyond the reality of everyday life.
