Class Overview

In the 2025–2026 school year, this class aims to nurture distinguished learners, creative leaders, voices of social justice, and advocates for humanity who will make meaningful contributions today, tomorrow, and beyond. Central to this vision is empowering students to use art as their voice to share their personal narratives—telling their stories, expressing their identities, and shaping their world through visual expression.

This multi-sensory visual arts course invites students of all learning styles, visual, kinesthetic, or auditory, to create meaningful personal artworks grounded in art history, critique, aesthetic inquiry, and core academic disciplines (Reading, Science, Math, Social Studies). The curriculum celebrates how art intersects with every facet of learning.

Through hands-on projects, art journaling, exhibition opportunities, and reflective critique, students will:

Engage in critical thinking, creative problem solving, and cross-cultural empathy.

Build perceptual awareness by activating all the senses. This is a hallmark of Mrs. Hall’s vision at Whitehall.

Strengthen engagement, achievement, and artistic identity through continuous self-assessment and teacher-guided exploration.
