ABOUT THE CHARTER ARTS VISUAL ARTS DEPARTMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Charter Arts Visual Arts Department provides a structured and classical art education. Students are rigorously trained in drawing, painting, sculpture, design, and educated in art history. The goal is to promote a return to excellence in the visual arts through intensive training and the implementation of high standards.<\/p>\n

Presented as an academic as well as an artistic pursuit, the courses inspire students to perceive connections between art and other subject areas.
