Completing the Arts Academy helps prepare students for entering college and entry-level jobs by providing students with design skills and the initial frameworks for producing art. Students learn what it means to be creative critical thinking collaborators and communicators with high character and community involvement—the Six “C”s. In the foundation courses, students learn and utilize building blocks for creating, critiquing, and understanding art. Capstone courses allow students to apply their knowledge while designing with a unique artistic voice.
During this sequence, students will be exposed to careers and industry possibilities. Upon graduation, students will have built a diverse portfolio —all ready to be presented for college and job applications. Our students learn that being an artist means being a problem solver; the skills they develop in creating artwork transfer into life skills. A student evolves into an adaptable, reflective, constructive, interpretive, communicative, empathetic, effective, hard-working, and highly original individual. |
