Visual Arts

Through hands-on activities in the art program, students acquire an understanding of basic design, develop freedom to experiment creatively, master skills in various techniques, and form meaningful communication of original ideas.  Classes offer students the opportunity to develop creative problem-solving skills.  Through evaluating, critiquing, and articulating ideas, students grow in appreciation and understanding of other artists' work.  As a department, we hope to facilitate aesthetic appreciation and artistic development in students who choose art as an enrichment as well as in students who choose art as a career.
