Art Concentration

The Program

This program is intended for highly motivated students who are interested in the further study of art.

This course involves significantly more commitment, focused attention and accomplishment than a typical high school art course. Emphasis will be on broadening skills, developing creativity, studio production, portfolio development, individual research, and critique.

Students will be expected to frequently reflect upon their work, identifying their strengths and limitations in order to direct their work and ne-tune their skills.
