Outline of Visual Arts:

​Students will get the chance to problem solve and overcome creative roadblocks while in the art room using core subjects. Here are some ways that Cross-Curricular Connections can occur in Visual Arts. ​
Students will get to do more than just create while in the Art Room, they will also learn how to present, respond, and connect to art. These are the very important to ensure that the artist is versatile. 
Here are the offered courses in the Visual Arts Pathway, each contains information regarding the upcoming school year. The Visual Arts Pathway is Traditional & Digital, there are 3 Traditional courses on the top and 2 Digital courses on the bottom. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Parents, our Elementary & Middle School Art students have been hard at work this year, and you can now view and order their incredible creations on Artsonia! 
​
When connecting, please select the correct art teacher: Shannon Jackson for Elementary (Pk-5th Grade) and Liberty Jackson for Middle (6th-8th Grade). 

​If you connected previously for middle school your request was sent to elementary and not accepted. Please make sure to re-register and select the correct teacher so that you can view & purchase your child's artwork!
