The JMW Visual Art course of studies is a four year curriculum designed to build an increasingly advanced set of art skills and experiences. The first two and a half years lays a comprehensive foundation of techniques and materials for drawing, printmaking, sculpture, painting, and art history. The last year and a half, students focused on creating a personal body of work for their college admissions portfolio, exhibits, and public art. Professional guest artists bring specialized instruction to the classroom and connect the classes to the working art world.
