Art and Design High School offers students four art majors: cartooning and animation, architecture, illustration which includes fashion illustration and medical illustration, and new media which includes digital photography and filmmaking. It equips them with the ability to generate not only ideas but also the criteria with which to evaluate them. Students work in group activities as well as individually. Thus effective communication and decision making skills are fostered through group interaction, oral presentations and written work. The techniques, activities, and projects experienced in Project Extra are designed and taught to nurture the life long needs of the potentially gifted learner. These skills, techniques and activities are built upon each year as the students mature and become more cognizant of their own learning and environment.
