Visual art students are encouraged to develop existing skills, knowledge and understanding to engage with deeper personal responses through their artwork from an emphasis on the inner artist voice through a variety of projects and mediums as classes progress.  

We explore how artists and designers engage in the world around them through design-based projects and visits to the DC galleries, studying contextually, in situ.  

With focused concentration and one-on-one work with their teacher, peer and self-evaluation techniques, problem solving and critical thinking skills, students are able to improve their confidence, expectations and abilities. This helps them become the young women with a better appreciation for art and a better understanding of the world.
