Visual Arts

Barnhart's Visual Arts introduces students to various mediums, techniques, and art-making forms, including drawing, painting, watercolor, 3D forms, design, and mixed media techniques. Classes are designed to provide an expanded creative experience and enhance skills. Learning about art history exposes our students to the many artists in history and art movements, allowing them to better understand technical ability and broaden their knowledge. 

It is as important to recognize the valuable emotional and developmental growth that is fostered by creating art as it is to appreciate the aesthetic qualities of art. Each student is encouraged to feel personal success, self-expression, independence, and joy while making works of art.
