High School

The high school visual arts curriculum centers on the continued development of artistic skills, aesthetic awareness, and historical and cultural knowledge. Individual creative expression is encouraged and students hone skills through planning and ideation in sketchbooks and technical skill building exercises.

A cumulative portfolio of art from each course demonstrates the students’ individual growth and reflects a broad range of media, styles, and processes.
