Art
The Visual Arts Department seeks to instill aesthetic awareness
in each student that is involved in the program. The understanding,
appreciation, and production of art are developed through practical
application and active participation. The core
of the program is dedicated to unlocking the imagination,
encouraging creativity, and developing critical
thinking in each student. As such, the Visual Arts Department hopes
to develop the whole person, providing the student with
opportunities to grow intellectually, emotionally, and
spiritually.
The Visual Arts Program develops in the following manner: each
studio is one semester in length and carries the weight of 1/2
credit. The graduation requirement is to complete Studio I which is
designed to begin building a foundation through the study of basic
art theory and technique. Classes beyond Studio I are
electives.
