Art at Spalding!
The art curriculum of Archbishop Spalding High School includes the fundamentals in studio courses and art history that encourage the development of personal skills as students further explore processes and concepts related to the visual arts. Sequential course offerings allow individuals to extend their knowledge and skill in advanced courses that include increasingly complex and challenging experiences in different art areas. All courses emphasize the development of a knowledge and appreciation of man's visual art heritage. Works by major and student artists are analyzed and discussed along with the relationships between past and present art styles and techniques.
