Visual Art

About This Course

Building on the educational outcomes of Visual Arts in elementary and middle school education, high school art prepares students for personal development in the arts through the construction of a body of work that may be instrumental in admission to higher education within the visual and media arts. This Visual Art course introduces art history, art criticism, aesthetic judgment, and studio production. Emphasizing the ability to understand and use the elements of art and principles of design through a variety of media, processes, and visual resources, students follow projects from the ideation and planning stages all the way through production, exhibition, and critical self-reflection.
