Who we are...

This is a two year class and most students start it in their Junior year.  Some students are working to complete the International Baccalaureate Visual Arts Portfolio or the AP Studio Art Portfolio to get college credit or the course.  Others are simply interested in pursuing their art on a deeper level in an advanced setting.  Some of our students have the intention of building their portfolios to apply to art and design programs after high school and pursue careers in Visual Art and Design fields.  

What we do...

We learn to draw and paint from life and explore a variety of approaches to making art, looking at art from many cultures throughout history.  Students work in their sketchbooks to develop an individual concentration.  This is a personalized body of work that explores a visual idea or concept using a media and technique that the artist loves working in.  Enjoy a couple of past student artworks in the gallery below.
