Visual Arts
|
The Visual Arts Department is proud to be able to offer a comprehensive Art History, Drawing, Painting, Digital and Ceramics program. Students have the opportunity to advance through four levels of course work in all the studio courses including Advanced Placement Studio Art. Our students develop a rich appreciation for art history and tradition as well as developing studio art techniques. Students create art that is exhibited in the classroom, throughout the school, and county and state wide through the many art competitions and exhibitions. Every student enrolled in a visual arts course exhibits his or her work in the Annual Mater Dei Art Show in the spring. Throughout the year students have the opportunity to submit works to competitions such as Imagination Celebration, Color it Orange Juried Art Exhibition, the California Art Education Association Youth Art Month Exhibition and Laguna Arts Festival to name a few. We attribute our programs’ high visibility and success to our faculty members who are artistically proficient and accomplished, active in professional development, conducting educational workshops as well as attending them. Ever mindful that some of our students, as adults, also will pursue their talents academically and professionally, we strive to cultivate each individual’s ability to its full potential. Many of our students are admitted to prestigious arts programs at colleges and universities throughout the nation. |
