Welcome to the
Pickerington Central High School Art Home
Page
The Art Department
offers unique opportunities for students’ academic development as
well students interested in a career in art. Based on the study of
artworks of various periods and cultures, a student develops the
special knowledge, sensitivity, and skills that training in art
offers. Using these three elements, students learn to understand
and to pursue quality, to be expressive and responsive, to exercise
their imaginations, and to be interested in the visions and
inventions of others. Students interested in a career in art or
interested in taking more than one art course are encouraged to
take the Foundations classes their freshman and sophomore year so
they will be able to take upper level courses during their
remaining years in high school. Although not required, it is
suggested students take Intermediate Painting and Intermediate
Drawing prior to enrolling in other advanced art coursework. The
skills learned in these two courses will be beneficial to all art
courses. Please see any art teacher for help in selecting an art
course of study.
