The Fine Arts play an important role in the Lindenhurst educational program.  From kindergarten through their high school years, students create original artwork in a wide variety of media.  Skill-based instruction in contour drawing, value, light shading, color theory, perspective, two dimensional and three dimensional design is provided sequentially throughout the grades.   

Lindenhurst High School students have the opportunity to take advanced studies in the fine arts of drawing and painting, ceramics and sculpture, and fashion design, as well as technology based programs such as computer graphics, media arts, video, and digital photography.  Student artwork is displayed throughout the year at community forums and school events.  In addition,   Lindenhurst’s student artwork is frequently displayed and honored in many local exhibits and competitions including NYSATA.

The Performing Arts also play an important role in the Lindenhurst educational program. From kindergarten through their high school years, students learn to read, write, perform, analyze and create music.  The elementary classroom music program in Lindenhurst serves as the foundation for teaching music literacy skills that prepare students to perform in a music ensemble program. The instrumental and choral music programs that begin in fourth grade provide small group weekly instruction as well as ensemble rehearsal experience for all performing groups.  Lindenhurst’s music students are frequently represented each year in All-County and All-State festivals. The High School Marching Band also performs and competes at festivals throughout the northeast.

Dance instruction is also offered to students at both the middle and high schools.  These students perform at the annual Evening of Dance at Lindenhurst High School.   Additionally, both the middle school and the high school present theatrical performances throughout the school year.
