EVERGREEN ARTSLoading...
Evergreen Public Schools is dedicated to offering students the opportunity to explore and excel in the visual arts. From beginning classes to college-level AP Studio Art and AP Art History, we prepare students for creative and critical challenges related to visual culture and contemporary society. Some of our most successful students go on to study Art, Architecture, Graphic Design and Museum Studies. Students who take a beginning, intermediate and advanced or Advanced Placement art classes by Fall of their senior year, will build a college-level portfolio that can be used for admission and scholarships to Art Schools and Universities.
At the very least we want our students to embrace the arts as a source of joy and comfort, but we also hope they go on to use their creativity to solve some of society's more complex social and environmental problems.
