WELCOME to the Visual Art Department at Highland Park Senior High School.
CREATIVE & ENGAGING: Highland's Visual Art Department focuses on engaging all students in creative development and technical learning as part of our personal philosophy that each student has a valuable voice to share. Instruction is also based in the International Baccalaureate philosophy of engaging with learning and expression from the world. See our 2022-2023 school year Art Dept. Showcase Slide Show and Handout.
STUDENT CENTERED: The visual arts provide space to reflect, heal, question, explore, and express. Course offerings for the current school year include beginning and advanced level courses in ceramics, sculpture, drawing, painting, digital photography, yearbook (electronic publishing), and IB/DP visual art and design. Classes include lecture, study, demonstrations, research, reflection, and hands-on work. Courses may be repeated for additional credit.
