FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT
The Fine Arts Department at East Garner IB Magnet Middle School, operates as a collaboratively cohesive unit that provides meaningful and relevant expressions of art through music, drama, dance, and visual art. Students are immersed in international, student-centered art and exhibit artwork throughout the school and community. Students often have international artists and community artisans come to work with in various units. Fine Arts IB learners at EGMMS become self-reflective, as they travel through the journey of the artistic and design processes. Through these creative processes, students become aware of how the visual and performance arts impact their local and global communities.
