MS Art 1 is a foundational survey course that nurtures students' confidence, curiosity, and appreciation for the artistic process.

HS Art 1- A yearlong course that provides students with an understanding of the elements and principles of design through a multi-media experience. The course aims to teach students how to draw, present a variety of concepts, and incorporate the elements of art and principles of design into every unit. Students will engage in practice, experimentation, research, project production, critique, and continuous review of new concepts. The curriculum is designed to build on foundational skills and prepare students for more advanced art concepts.

MS Art 2- A yearlong course for students who have passed the introductory course. This is an intermediate course of deeper exploration including clay and other sculpture media, painting, printmaking, and drawing.
