Kinder High School for Performing and Visual Arts – 11th Grade Visual Arts

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Coursework for this year is driven by the opportunity to begin to develop, implement and document an independent body of artwork. Students work toward an ultimate independent course of study that deals specifically with the student’s own ideas and chosen medium(s) in Independent Studio Art. In addition, students are required to take Elective Courses enriching their technical skills while working on their body of work. They also look at Art History (Survey and Ancestry) and Drawing. Emphasis is placed on the development of the student’s ability to professionally present themselves and their work in situations that may include gallery exhibitions and presentations, applying to colleges of art and design, scholarship and employment opportunities, etc. This is accomplished through students learning to create documentation of their artwork, presentation of their artwork and is clarified through the composition of an artist statement and a resume.
