A cross-curricular based approach, especially in kindergarten through the eighth grade, has teachers intentionally connect their fine art discipline to other curriculum in science, history, and writing. The fine arts at Regents are taught from a biblical perspective, relating the creative product, whether a visual art or performance art, not only to history, but also to criticism and aesthetics. The fine arts give witness to societies otherwise long vanished. It finds expression in areas of our daily lives, inspiring and engaging us in the creative process even as we imitate God, the ultimate Creator.
