Explorations of Visual Art
Explorations of Visual Art is the perfect starting point for creative minds ready to dive into the world of the Visual and Performing Arts Academy. In this hands-on, studio-based class, students experiment with a wide range of materials, techniques, and ideas connected to the Visual Arts pathways at SHS—including 2D Design, Drawing, Photography, Digital Art, Crafts, Metals, Sculpture, and Ceramics. Students will learn how to generate and develop original ideas, turning inspiration into finished works of art. Along the way, they’ll discover their artistic strengths, build technical skills, and begin shaping a personal direction for their senior capstone.
