Visual Arts
The Visual Arts program invites students to dive into their creativity through hands-on work in studio art, ceramics, sculpture, photography, and digital art. Whether you're just starting out or building a portfolio for college, there are courses for every level—including AP options in 2-D, 3-D, and Drawing.
Classes take place in the bright, modern Kennard Visual Arts Center, which includes spacious studios, a digital lab, and the Warren Family Gallery, where student and visiting artist work is regularly on display. With opportunities for field trips, public art projects, critiques, and collaborative installations, students are encouraged to explore new ideas, take creative risks, and grow as artists.
