There is considerable research on the
academic value of students receiving instruction in the
Visual Arts. All District 11 art classes
are taught by qualified art teachers. Students will
learn the elements of art and principles of design. They
will learn about art in relation to history, culture,
and the community. They will also recognize and use the
visual arts as a form of communication, and will
critique works of art through analysis, assessment, and
evaluation. Informal and formalized assessments of each
student's level of mastery begin and continue
throughout the course.
