ART AT WARWICK VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL

The goal of the art program at Warwick Valley High School is to help students to develop their appreciation for and understanding of the various art disciplines and the contributions of art in our society. The course offerings include a wide range of exciting full year and half year courses.

The department is proud to offer courses that are aligned within distinct strands of study: two dimensional studies, three dimensional studies and digital art studies.

The foundation course for practically all electives is Studio Art, in which students develop their skills in a variety of media and hands-on applications, as well as learn art history, art criticism, and strategies for personal expression. Below is a complete list of the Art Department course offerings at Warwick Valley High School. For a description of each course, see the HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM HANDBOOK.
