Simsbury Public Schools

Welcome to Simsbury High School Art Department

The mission of the Simsbury K-12 Visual Art department is to provide the highest quality art education possible to all of our students. We feel strongly that art is a vital component of every child’s core education and is aligned with both the State and National Visual Arts Standards. The Simsbury K-12 Visual Arts Department provides challenging art experiences through the development of common assessments that are designed to cultivate creativity, innovative thinking, problem solving and personal expression. The Simsbury Visual Arts Curriculum exposes students, beginning in Kindergarten, to a wide variety of 2-dimensional media, the use of technology to create art and the creation of 3- dimensional art works. Upon high school graduation, we believe that students will possess the gift of visual literacy and will be articulate participants in a global and culturally diverse society.
