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.
