As a visual art department, our mission is to develop students who:
- extend the study of the visual arts by incorporating a wide range of subject matter, symbols, meaningful images and visual expressions
- grow in sophistication in employment of the visual arts through reflection and evaluation
- learn vocabularies and concepts associated with various types of work in the visual arts
- develop deeper and more profound works of visual art that reflect the maturation of creativity and problem solving skills
- understand the multifaceted interplay of different media, styles, forms, techniques and processes in the creation of art work
- develop abilities to ask insightful questions about contexts, processes and criteria for evaluation
- reflect on the nature of human involvement in art as a viewer, creator, and participant
- understand relationships among art forms between their own work and that of others
- relate understanding about the historical and cultural contexts of art to situations in contemporary life.
