SST Spring has the privilege of serving students from all over the county that represent many different cultures, academic abilities, and socio-economic statues. We pride ourselves on building a strong community that feels like a family, with parents, staff and students all serving as models of character. We feel it is our responsibility to provide our students with opportunities to develop skills and moral character that will increase our ability to close any achievement gaps. Our students, parents and staff created a touchstone to represent our main core values: BARK. Students will receive weekly lessons that help them focus on building their skills in these core values: Be Accountable, Responsible and Kind

The purpose of this course is to provide a balanced visual arts program, which guides students to achieve the standards in the visual arts. In Advanced Art, students expand their personal growth in the visual arts through the identification of specialized areas of interest explored through the use of traditional and contemporary media and techniques as students observe, create and speak, think read and write about the visual art in greater depth. Emphasis is also placed on investigating career and lifelong learning opportunities in the visual arts.
