Art (A.A.)

The Art program is dedicated to the creative and personal growth of every student.  The courses are designed to give students a solid foundation in the elements and principles of design that will prepare them for more advanced studies.  Our program establishes students with a strong understanding of realism before introducing more abstract and conceptual forms of art.
