The Fine Arts program at Plymouth High School has provided an outlet for students to be creative and passionate about what they do. The Fine Arts program does not only include one\u2019s interest in just art, but other types of art such as music, designing, and other basic skills in everyday life.<\/p>\n

Various people have different perspectives on the definition of fine arts. Senior Mariah Tepper answered with \u201cany sort of creative art.\u201d What Tepper is saying is that it has to deal with any kind of art. On the other hand, sophomore Felicia Dixon replied with \u201canything that has to deal with music, acting, or art.\u201d Junior Sophia Smith believed that \u201canything that expresses a person\u2019s individuality and creativity\u201d is an expression of fine art.\u00a0 Dixon\u2019s response is also following the same path as Tepper. Now Smith is explaining that fine arts is more than just any type of art; she is explaining how it is also a part of someone’s life and themselves.<\/p>\n

Now the question was why they were interested in fine arts. As all of their responses have a connection with one another; the connection also was intertwined with their interest in the fine arts. Tepper answered with \u201cit’s amazing how a single song can change my mood. It’s amazing how I can talk to someone far away about a rhythm and they understand what I’m talking about.\u201d Her definition has a connection with her interest in fine arts.\u00a0 Smith said,\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot about life from fine arts. With fine arts it\u2019s like I can be myself no matter what. Also fine arts has shown me it isn\u2019t always about competition. It\u2019s about trying hard to get better.\u201d Dixon commented with \u201cit’s the funniest<\/p>\n

thing I’ve ever done. It makes me happy.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Smith said\u00a0 \u201cJust everything about the fine arts is interesting. You get to find out your strengths and weaknesses and you get to work on those weaknesses to make them strengths. Every aspect of the fine arts is very interesting and amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

PHS students\u00a0 are interested in different forms of fine arts. Tepper said, \u201cMusic, everyone listens to music; it’s a way to connect with people. Music is the same anywhere you go. A quarter note is a quarter note no matter where you go. It’s a universal language. \u201d\u00a0 Smith enjoys \u201cchoral arts, only because it\u2019s in almost all of our music that we listen to today.\u201d Dixon said\u00a0 \u201cprobably band because almost everybody in this school is in a type of band.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
