Visual Arts

The high school visual art curriculum provides a more advanced approach to the broad aspects of art as well as the opportunity for in-depth study in specific media areas, techniques and art appreciation.  Students develop a personalized style, a mastery of skills and techniques, an appreciation for quality and a respect for art expression in classes at the high school level. At this level, students may discover or develop a unique talent that could lead to a career opportunity. The visual arts involve students intellectually, personally, physically, and emotionally. When students are engaged and involved in the educational process they learn! Art allows students to express their unique visions of the world, enabling students to deal with divergent outcomes and opportunities to reflect upon the differences among people. In this department we value students who are already creative as well as those who are uncertain of their ability to communicate with their artistic side. As instructors we teach how to compose, so the freedom to express one's ideas becomes a concrete reality for each individual.     Department Faculty    Cheryl Harmon                 Rebecca Feeney
