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:
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“I won’t undertake war until I have tried all the arts and means of peace.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
