Art Department at Billy Ryan High School

Art 1 is a class which provides an overall view of the elements and principles of design while exploring art history, art criticism, and aesthetics.  Colored pencils, markers, acrylic paint, watercolor, and ceramic clay are just a few of the mediums that Art 1 students will have the opportunity to work with.

Once a student has successfully passed Art 1, the student may choose from specialty media classes: Drawing, Painting, Ceramics and Sculpture. Each class is a year in length and explores the media in a variety of subject matter.

For the advanced students, AP Studio Art is offered which provides a year long class, preparing portfolios for submission to the College Board for college credit either in Drawing, 2-D Design or 3-D Design.
