Creating a work of art involves using a complex combination of subject knowledge, personal perceptions, problem-solving, sensitivity to materials, creativity/innovation, and communication skills. Each UEHS art class is designed to provide experiences that help students build new knowledge and skills while challenging them to develop unique expressive objects that reflect their own experiences and interests and voice. Individual attention is an essential component of art instruction at UEHS and all art classes are structured to encourage students to interact with the teacher as much as possible in developing their work. All art classes end with a final exam other final assessment (written test, portfolio review, culminating task, etc.).
