Gifted Art

Students identified as gifted in visual art aptitude are offered after-school enrichment activities by the Art Coordinator.  The elementary and middle school gifted art programs will begin in October.  The elementary program culminates in a county-wide art show in April.  

The elementary program consists of general site-based instruction, while the middle school workshops consist of self-selected, in-depth artistic studies.
