Arts, Music & Design Pathway (AMD)
Arts, Music & Design Pathway
This pathway will explore artistic processes, music, and design principles through a sustainable lens. Students in this pathway will consider how art can have a positive impact on individuals, society, and the environment, while also considering the materials used in art and design projects. Working with colleges, universities, and community organizations, students can examine visual, musical, and design arts through a historical look at the interaction of systems & structures and their impact on humans and the environment.
Art, music, and design are ways for expression, creating bonds and empathy through communities. With this in mind, this pathway will prepare students to think critically and creatively while enhancing communication skills for varying audiences. Is the process to create, equitable and sustainable? Does the art evoke social change or a call to action?
Graduation projects may explore the impact of a public art installation, the stories and histories of marginalized citizens in a town, the design of community events/experience to connect people in new ways.
