The visual arts program offers a variety of courses and activities designated to contribute to the visual and aesthetic needs of the students. The courses are conducted under the guidance of four full-time resident artists/teachers. The primary purpose of the program is to assist the students in arriving at a well-balanced maturity and sensitivity as they broaden their understanding and appreciation of the human element in art.
