ART at HANOVER HIGH SCHOOL
“Art Makes You Smart. Expanding access to art, whether through programs in schools or through visits to area museums and galleries, should be a central part of any school’s curriculum.”
New York Times 11/24/13
To meet school requirements all art courses require a minimum of 4 1/2 hours per week. This time is a combination of class time and individual studio time. Individual work in the studio is important to artistic development. Each student enrolled in an art course will do a research project and keep a personal sketchbook of ideas, drawings, and class notes.
Design or Historical Techniques of Western Art must be taken as a prerequisite before taking the other studio courses. Equipment and materials for course work are provided. Materials for independent projects or work outside of class expectations will be purchased by the student.
