The value of arts in all of our lives cannot be underestimated. Pursuing the Visual & Performing Arts Pathway opens many opportunities for you in life – both as a vocation and avocation. If your passion is to create, perform, engage, experiment, and/or teach in any visual and performing arts this Pathway may be for you!
Focus areas are specific areas of emphasis within a pathway, which allow students to explore coursework and develop useful skills for their desired careers.
The Art Department serves the students and the community by advancing awareness, understanding and technical skills in the visual language of art and design. This pathway offers a strong foundation program in the art basics, including courses in two- and three-dimensional design, drawing and art history.
This focus area provides students with the opportunity to gain fundamental skills in the application of digital tools to video, games, animations, design and graphics in a project-based, hands-on environment.

If you are creative, artistic, business-oriented, technically inclined, psychologically oriented, uniquely expressive, a visual thinker, a planner, a doer, a talker, a thinker, or any combination of these things, you might be interested in an interior design career. Interior designers work with architects, builders, design consultants, and a wide variety of clients to shape the spaces and experiences of individuals, businesses, and communities.
