Visual & Performing Arts

Students interested in continuing their art education after high school at a college or university art department may follow the Fine Arts Program. The Art Department Head and the student’s counselor must approve the program. Beginning the program in either ninth or tenth grade, students take four academic and one art course each year, and, normally, carry three academic and three art courses in both eleventh and twelfth grade. If a student’s schedule permits, the Art Department recommends that Fine Arts students take more art classes. The following sequence of courses is recommended for Fine Arts majors. Students maintain a B average in studio art courses to continue in the program.
