State College Area
School District
provides a diversified elective art program for students of all
interests and abilities.
The art program is
for students who wish
to enjoy the creative growth that comes from working in art,
continue to develop their skill in an art-related area, prepare for
a career in an art-related
field, and learn about art media and
personal aesthetics.

In all art courses offered,
student achievement is measured through observed growth in skills,
work-habits, problem-solving ability, care and safe use of supplies
and equipment, cooperation and understanding of others, and the
timely submission of all class work, homework, and written
assignments. Staff members of the art department recommend that
students interested in pursuing art-related careers select both
Basic Crafts and Basic Drawing. These foundation courses are
prerequisites for advanced or specialized courses. Students
interested in fine arts are encouraged to enroll in Basic Drawing
at the first opportunity. Students interested in crafts should
select Basic Crafts early. Students with an interest in photography
or film making may enroll in either or both of these courses.
Please read individual course descriptions for a complete listing
of prerequisites. Students who encounter a scheduling conflict
during or after the initial selection period should contact the
appropriate art teacher. Usually accommodations can be arranged to
resolve conflicts. Staff members of the art department will be
happy to answer any questions about art offerings.
