Welcome to the Fine Arts Department at Dobson Academy!

I believe that the Arts is a crucial element in providing a comprehensive education to our students. It is my goal to bring a Discipline Based Art Education (commonly called DBAE) which goes beyond painting a pretty picture.

ART EDUCATION - Mrs. Wilson

DBAE promotes higher level thinking skills, original problem solving skills, cultural and global awareness, verbal and non-verbal communication, and other skills that will help students throughout their lives. These goals are accomplished by teaching art history, criticism and aesthetics as well as production.

It also serves as an innovative but fundamental approach to integrating the arts into the curriculum which will permit students at all levels, in any course of study, to be introduced to, understand and participate in, an art form within the structure of a typical school day.

I hope to share my love of art with my students and broaden their understanding of the arts.

We invite you to visit our site frequently and feel free to contact us at anytime. Our door is always open to students and parents alike.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Wilson

Art and Drama Teacher
