Fine Arts Academy

The MISD Fine Arts Department is proud to support our Fine Arts Academies at Brenda Norwood Elementary, Kenneth Davis Elementary, Alma Martinez Intermediate and Cross Timbers Intermediate Schools.

Each Fine Arts Academy houses state-of-the-art facilities designed to foster creativity and growth in academic, artistic and performance skills. 

Our elementary artists gain exposure to multiple arts disciplines including music, piano, dance, theatre and visual art. At the intermediate level, artists expand their rigorous study into eight disciplines including band, choir, dance, digital art, piano, orchestra, theatre and visual art. Fine arts instruction is also enhanced by additional performance opportunities and master classes unique to the academy experience.
 
Based on the Studio Habits of Mind (shown below), our artists engage in arts-integrated core instruction designed to promote creativity, collaboration and critical thinking across all areas of study.
