Every Mosaic student is provided instruction in the following Expressive Art (ExArts):

• Visual Art
• Dance
• Music
• Drama
• Technology
• Physical Education
• Health

Why does Mosaic teach fine arts and utilize arts integration?

• Identity: The arts allow us to express our unique personalities, perspectives, and cultures. 
  
• Skills: The arts teach us how to create, perform/present, connect, and respond through visual art, dance, music, drama, and technology.
  
• Intellect: The arts recognize multiple forms of intelligence, allowing students to uncover their talents and celebrate each other.
  
• Criticality: The arts allow us to imagine and create a more beautiful and just world.
  
• Joy: The arts embrace the power of creativity and exploration to make learning more joyful.

The arts encourage us to express our thoughts and feelings so that we can compassionately build a stronger community together.
