Exploring creative & Critical Thinking |
A lasting journey: class of 2010 |
At George, we want our artists having valid and powerful opportunities for their visual voice. As senior Lucca Raabe explains, "The arts have given me the tools to not only become a more critical thinker, but to use creativity to do so in the unique way only the arts can." The arts at GWHS go beyond the basics and introduce a whole new level of creative curiosity that is applicable in multiple disciplines.
