Visual Arts
Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Art are offered to Grades 9-12 as one semester classes
designed to provide a broad range of art experiences for the beginning and advanced art student.
Students study the elements of art and principles of design. Scholastic Art Magazine and internet resources (SmartBoard and MacBooks) are used as curriculum for instruction. The benefits of these courses include the development and strengthening of decision making, creative thinking, and time management. Three- Dimensional Art continues the study of art by learning about important art movements and the work of famous artists and their styles. Both courses meet daily for one semester. High school artwork is displayed seasonally in the hallways of the school, and at art shows in conjunction with school concerts. Field trips related to art topics are offered as they become available.
Single semester art courses are offered to middle school students.
