Art Program
The art department offers courses designed to expose students to a number of subject areas and experiences in the arts. Courses are designed to help students interpret and solve visual problems in a variety of media in engaging studio classrooms. The program contributes to the aesthetic education of students with a wide variety of abilities and interests. Classes are organized around a series of projects designed to give students the experience of working with various materials and approaches within each elective subject area. In addition to learning basic skills, students will have numerous opportunities for personal expression and exploration of their interests.
All courses count (2.0 or 4.0) towards the Fine & Performing Art Requirement for graduation.
