Visual Arts
The visual arts department at Quaker Valley High School offers a curriculum of both traditional fine arts course and digital offerings. The visual arts are offered as elective courses ranging from beginning levels for 9th graders to AP Studio art in 12th grade.
The visual arts allow students to learn varied techniques such as drawing, page layout, oil painting, screenprinting, Photoshop, metals and jewelry, and also promote such twenty-first century skills such as making good judgments about qualitative relationships, seeing multiple perspectives and multiple answers, and addressing complex forms of problem solving.

Famous quotes containing the words visual and/or arts:
“Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“In the arts of life man invents nothing; but in the arts of death he outdoes Nature herself, and produces by chemistry and machinery all the slaughter of plague, pestilence, and famine.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
