The ECA Visual Arts Department offers high school students the opportunity to work with professional artists in a studio setting. Thirty-two foundation and special topics courses are offered each year in a variety of media, including sculpture, printmaking, video, darkroom photography, digital photography, painting, interdisciplinary media, new genres, and drawing.
The Visual Arts Department cultivates the exchange of creative ideas with critiques, lectures, gallery and museum trips and visiting guest artists. Our students expand their critical thinking and problem solving skills, craftsmanship and technical abilities, and visual and cultural literacy while making personally expressive artwork.
