The Visual Arts program provides opportunities for students to learn about art in order to gain knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enrich their lives. Art courses are designed to accommodate a range of interests, to develop expertise and to encourage creativity in all students. While new activities, experiences, and ideas for artistic expression will occur at each level, many projects will involve the practice and refinement of skills and knowledge gained previously. The demands and standards placed on students in demonstrating a creative approach and in developing technical skill increases with each grade level.
