The study of art is an integral part of every student’s education. No other subject offered in the secondary curriculum develops the visual literacy and perception that are necessary in such fields as architecture, interior and industrial design, commercial art, engineering, and computer graphics. The art classrooms are furnished with equipment and materials to provide for individual creative expression. The information and skills learned in art are essential to the intellectual development and aesthetic awareness of each student.
