Fine Arts

Creativity at PVI

The Fine Arts Department promotes social skills, creative thinking problem solving, self-expression, risk-taking, and cooperative learning. The Fine Arts Department has developed courses both to introduce students to the arts and to allow students with special performing talents to interests to develop them. Many courses will satisfy the Fine Arts requirement and have no prerequisites. Students who possess a desire to further their talents in bands, strings, choir, acting, or art are encouraged to seek instructor approval as they may take more advanced courses in Fine Arts.

    "I looked up the Italian word for 'theatre' (Teatro) and Pope Paul VI's lay last name (Montini) and thought it was a nice combination of his support for the arts, while providing a beautiful name for the new theater. It will sound so nice for PVI students to perform at Teatro Montini!"
