VISUAL AND DIGITAL ARTS 

“A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.”
―  Salvador Dali ―

​

Our Visual Arts department offers an eclectic array of mediums for student expression, including ceramics, computer arts and animation, drawing and design, painting, photography, film and video. Our preliminary classes focus on equipping students with the skill and technique they need to develop their voice as artists. As students progress in their abilities they have opportunities to explore new mediums, from printmaking, digital painting, murals, and more.
