The American Heritage School Visual/Art Studies Program!

The Visual Art department at American Heritage offers a wide range of courses beginning with our introduction survey course titled Visual Concepts thorough disciplines in drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, glass, black and white photography, digital photography, architecture, graphic design, computer art and animation, portfolio and Advanced Placement Art History.  All courses promote a hands-on, experiential approach that develops a sensitivity and familiarity with materials and methods. Students at American Heritage benefit form the support of faculty, administrators, peers, and the community. Our facilities house the latest technology along with multiple exhibition space for students to showcase their work.

Formal and conceptual training expand students’ visual literacy. In addition to studio practice students study the historical, cultural and philosophical approaches used by artist in the past and present. Class size is small in order to provide individual attention by professional artist and educators.

As a department, we are focused on providing students with every opportunity to succeed in their artistic endeavor.  We encourage students to participate in local and national exhibitions, summer programs, and portfolio reviews.  Students who wish to continue their studies in art leave with a portfolio of work that is commensurate with the requirements of undergraduate studio art programs.
