Visual Arts at DSA

Ms. Rosenbaum's Middle School students create armatures for their "Historical Hats" sculpture project.

DEPARTMENT PHILOSOPHY

The DSA Visual Arts Program is designed to give students with a strong interest and/or ability in visual arts the opportunity for in-depth study. Curriculum spirals out from solid foundation classes at the middle school level into a more open, individualized and project-based education in the high school. Strong technical skill in various media, aesthetic awareness, professional development, critical thinking and historical background all play integrated roles in our program. Students learn to read, write and talk about art as well as engage in their own creative process.
