Music & Fine Arts
One of the most important contributions provided by the Fine Arts Department at Florida College, is the opportunity for self-expression, either individually or with others. The stimulation and enjoyment derived from the arts springs from study, self-examination and criticism, discipline, knowledge of other disciplines that bear upon artistic interpretation, and a desire to achieve excellence.
The Fine Arts at Florida College has Four Primary Goals
1
2
To expose students to and involve them with the creative process through the arts, to heighten students’ sensitivity to them-selves and others, and to introduce them to a broad range of the arts.
3
To develop an understanding of the arts, impart knowledge of the arts and increase skills by means of courses offered within the framework of the liberal arts.
4
