Art
|
Education in the visual arts at the secondary level is intended to enrich the lives of all students, stimulate and encourage creative growth, increase the understanding of the importance of art both in our contemporary society and in societies which have contributed to our cultural heritage, and bring students to enjoy and appreciate works of art in various media. In addition, through student participation in various courses, the art department hopes to develop skills and techniques as well as an excitement and satisfaction in the creation of personal projects. Students may satisfy the one unit art/music diploma requirement by electing to take either Studio in Art or Digital Studio in Art. As indicated, extensive elective work is possible, and students may satisfy one Regents sequence requirement by study in the art department. In order to provide a rich and varied curriculum, a number of courses are offered in alternate years as noted in the course descriptions. Students who wish to plan the best possible program should carefully look ahead to the variations possible in grades nine through twelve.
