Visual Art Accolades
The visual arts program includes courses that develop the potential and talent of our student artists. Students can take introductory courses all the way up to AP (Advanced Placement) Drawing or AP 2-D Art and Design. Intro to Art and Drawing are both offered on the A1 level. Intermediate courses include Painting, Drawing, Ceramics, and Advanced Art on the honors level. Every art student participates in a semester exhibit for the school community.
Over several years, fine arts graduates have studied art at four-year university programs and art colleges. College acceptances and scholarships have included the Art Institute of Chicago, Clemson University, College of Charleston, Maryland Institute College of Art, Savannah College of Art and Design, University of Cincinnati, University of Colorado at Boulder, and the University of South Carolina. Past students are present-day architects, artists, art directors, graphic artists, web designers, visual effects artists, landscape architects, fashion designers, illustrators, art instructors, and professors.
Based on the previous eight years of students enrolled in AP art classes, the pass rate for AP Drawing students is 100%, and the pass rate for AP 2-D Art and Design is 91%.
