Performing and Visual Arts Classes
You need TWO credits of Performing/Visual Arts courses to graduate.
So, that is four different classes throughout grades 9-12.
To get those credits, you can choose classes in DRAMA, MUSIC, OR VISUAL ART.
That means you can try different areas as you earn your credits! There are many different classes you can take in each of these areas, too. That gives you lots of ways you can experience theater, music, and art by learning about their history and by doing them yourself!
Drama classes are a great way to do something where you get to get up and move, especially after a day of hitting the books!
In Drama classes, you get to play games, work on confidence, learn how to play a character, and work with others. We do projects and show off our results to our classmates.
You can also explore the history of American film in another class! Take a look at all you can do by clicking the button above!
