Visual arts

Student painting

Garland High School offers an array of Visual Arts classes. 

Students focus on developing technical skills while investigating personal concepts. Students learn art history and skills to critique artwork, but the main focus is on creating art, developing techniques, and exploring personal concepts.

Visual art prides itself in the opportunities it is able to provide the students. Museum visits, college recruiter visits and professional artist guest speakers are just a few.

The visual art department encourages peer teaching. Each year our seniors hold after-school workshops, in which they teach a medium or technique to other art students. They organize “share teams” that visit middle schools and play a big role in Garland’s community events.
