Visual Arts at DSA
MISSION
The DSA Visual Arts Program gives 6th - 12th grade students with a strong interest and/or ability in visual arts the opportunity for in-depth study. Students are provided with solid foundation classes at the middle school level that spiral out into more open, individualized and project-based education after 9th grade. Strong technical skill in various media, aesthetic awareness, critical thinking, art history and career preparation play integrated roles in our program. Students learn to read, write and talk about art in addition to creating personal, individual works.
