Art 4

Students in Art IV have the opportunity to explore areas and techniques in art that are of interest to them. Students may concentrate on one area of study for the entire year, or they may choose to write special goals, and then pursue them. Students taking this course possess a high degree of self-motivation. Students are responsible for writing their own goals and developing their own projects.

The next time you are in the halls of DTHS, please be sure to check out the amazing memorial mosaic for Iris Beier that will serve as a reminder of the amazing person who passed too soon, one year ago. A huge thank you to the DTHS students who created the memorial, and to Dwight's ACE Hardware for donating the materials
