The CTECS Art program begins with observation of the real world: recording, analysis and creation of a visual response to the surroundings. Art makes students look at things anew – even ordinary aspects of the world.
When art is added to STEM the acronym becomes STE(A)M- Science, Technology, Engineering, ART and Math. Students are encouraged to connect art to their core academic subjects as well as their chosen career-technologies. Art is a creative force that allows expression of design to the academic process.
Elements and Principles of Art is recommended for grades 9-11 in order to support students in gaining prerequisite foundation skills in the visual arts. In senior year we offer Advanced Art and Painting.
