Visual Arts

The Visual Arts program develops individual and collaborative skills, technological competencies, flexible thinking, and an appreciation for diversity. By offering specialized units of study we are able to help students collect a portfolio of work that displays an understanding of the elements and principles of art and design. This portfolio can be used when the student applies for scholarships, colleges or jobs.
Students are given the opportunity to explore art in the community by visiting local artists in their studios and galleries. Field trips to New York City are also offered to interested students. These trips help the students experience the hub of the art world by visiting museums, galleries, theatre performances, as well as tours of art schools.

Students are encouraged to participate in community projects. Some of the past volunteer programs students have assisted with include; Shea's theatre restoration project, planting stamp designs on the post office windows, and replicating a scaled model of the McKinley monuments as part of Hillary Clinton's "Save America's Treasures"

Through these varied activities and daily classes in the art studio, it is our hope that students will develop excellence in their art skills and give voice to their creative spirit.
