THE VISUAL ARTS PROGRAM is designed to give students an opportunity to work in many different areas of art. The purpose of the program is to aid students no matter what their ability, to express themselves visually in a creative and organized manner. This objective will be achieved through teacher demonstration and student exploration of the art media and through directed and personal observations of our surroundings.
