Visual Arts Courses Grades 9-12

The goals of the Visual Arts Program are to provide a sequential, cumulative program of concepts and skills from kindergarten through twelfth grade, all while promoting visual literacy through studies in art history, aesthetics, and art criticism.  The program strives to provide students with experiences that meet individual learning styles while engaging them in higher level thinking skills.  Students are presented with real-life art behaviors so learning the content of art becomes relevant - these include the elements and principles of art, the use of tools and media.
