Curriculum - The Arts

At BB&N, the arts are a vital component of each student's education. Through a wide range of courses, guest artists, and extracurricular offerings, students are exposed to both the performing and the visual arts. We encourage all students to get involved, to take risks, and to discover what art making is all about. The arts curriculum moves from technical skills in each medium to developing an understanding of the expressive and conceptual possibilities of art. The goal of the program is for students to gain a greater awareness of the place of art in human experience through the making of art. Our location in Cambridge makes it easy for many teachers to use the performances, the galleries and the museums of the Greater Boston area as a springboard for their curriculum. In addition, our special collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, means that all BB&N students get to know that spectacular collection, only a ten-minute drive from our campuses.
