Art
Art is taught as a broad subject where students learn to appreciate, evaluate, and create the visual arts. Students learn about design elements and different types of mediums. They study famous artists and their styles, and experiment with incorporating these styles into their own works. Students also study art from different cultures, religion and history.
In the spring, there is an annual art show, which highlights all student work.
