Study and enjoyment in the Visual Arts can lead to many career opportunities and is a valuable skill to possess in all career paths. The development of imagination, creativity, and building new creative skills by the student can also lead to feelings of greater self-worth, self-confidence and promote interest in an area not previously considered. The Visual Arts program explores many expansive movements, media, relevant topics, ideas, design elements and theories which students are able to employ every day to their studies across other curriculum areas and into their future career pathways.
