Graphic Arts is a fast-paced and active "hands on" class. Students learn to use the computer, scanners, and graphic software such as Photoshop Elements as a production tool. Projects include silkscreened T-shirts, batiks and stencils. Students are also introduced to wet-process (black and white) photography and digital photography.
 
The Technology Education Department provides cameras for student use. However, students with 35mm film cameras and digital cameras are encouraged to use their own.

Many students take Graphic Arts before taking Photography, but it is not required.
