Students explore a vast array of media while honing their ability to visualize, plan, and create works of art that express and communicate effectively.

By division
From painting and pasting to printmaking and sculpture, students grow as artists at every stage.
Preschoolers express themselves with traditional and non-traditional art media, learning about color and texture while practicing fine motor skills through painting, coloring, cutting, pasting, and mixing. They discover that art is fun, and that they can make art out of anything.
Elementary students take art every week and discover many media. They can also join Art Club after school, and each spring 3rd-5th graders enter their work in the NCCSA Fine Arts Competition, where they can win ribbons.
Because middle and high school art classes are electives, developing artists enjoy smaller class sizes and the chance to explore drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and collage.
High school electives
High school students can choose from art and design electives as part of their course of study.
Competitions
Community, state, and national competitions give fine art students a great opportunity to showcase their work and challenge themselves.
Competitions are also a way for students to see artwork from across our community, state, and nation.
