VISUAL ARTS PROGRAM
Faculty: Bill Cauthern, Sara Massey, Jessica Garcia, Natalie Pantuso, Ann Burnham, Carey West,
The Visual Arts Program at the Fine Arts Academy currently focuses on the development of students’ technical skills and critical thinking in a variety of media. The visual art aspect of the larger integrated curriculum emphasizes the application of art elements and principles of design in art production, the study of art history and diverse cultural heritages, and the development of visual discrimination and judgment through art criticism and aesthetics.
Upon successful completion of Visual Arts Foundations, students may take year-long courses in drawing, painting, printmaking, fibers, sculpture, ceramics, digital photography, and jewelry. Advanced placement studio courses are also available.
To graduate with a major in visual arts, students are required to complete six credits in art, including one in art history.
