Pablo Picasso once said “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Here at 71st, we in Visual Arts strive to refresh and revive the creativity and artistic spark in arts students, from Beginning to AP art. We study and create in a large variety of media from painting and drawing to digital art and photography. We offer a visual art class for every year of high school plus more, AP Studio Art and the only Photography class in the county. Throughout the school year students have many opportunities to display their artistic talents to include but not limited to; set designs, school programs and advertisements, several art competitions, and the annual High School Juried Art Show, to name a few. We hope that you will choose to wash the dust off with us here at 71st School of Arts Visual Arts Department. Until then keep “arting”!
