Arts
CHS is also very proud of its arts department and outstanding theater productions. In-school visual art classes are taught on drawing, painting, photography, sculpture and ceramics. There are three choirs: concert, crystal (all-women), and varsity (as well as a smaller group of madrigals who perform at sports games and other events throughout the year); a concert band, pep band, and jazz band; and an orchestra. There are also two theater performances every year, a musical in the fall and a play in the spring.

Famous quotes containing the word arts:
“The great end of all human industry is the attainment of happiness. For this were arts invented, sciences cultivated, laws ordained, and societies modelled, by the most profound wisdom of patriots and legislators. Even the lonely savage, who lies exposed to the inclemency of the elements and the fury of wild beasts, forgets not, for a moment, this grand object of his being.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Poetry, and Picture, are Arts of a like nature; and both are busie about imitation. It was excellently said of Plutarch, Poetry was a speaking Picture, and Picture a mute Poesie. For they both invent, faine, and devise many things, and accommodate all they invent to the use, and service of nature. Yet of the two, the Pen is more noble, than the Pencill. For that can speake to the Understanding; the other, but to the Sense.”
—Ben Jonson (1573–1637)
“As the unity of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts provide the most valuable means of insight into the real direction of our own collective purposes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
