The Bryant art program focuses on personal expression, creative thinking and problem solving skills.  Students work in a community to learn technique along side one another while communicating their own stories and creating complete art portfolios.

An education in the arts benefits Fairfax County Public School students by helping them gain powerful tools for:

• understanding human experiences, both past and present.

• learning to adapt to and respect other ways of thinking and working.

• making decisions in situations where there are no standard answers.

• analyzing non-verbal communication and making informed judgments about cultural products and issues.

• communicating their thoughts and feelings in a variety of modes, giving them a vastly more powerful repertoire for self-expression.

A comprehensive, articulated arts education program engages students in a process that helps them develop the self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, and self-motivation necessary for success in life.
