The Black Horse Pike Regional School District Art Department will provide our students the means, materials and methods to create visual works to foster creativity, critical thinking, self-discipline, problem-solving, and self-confidence. We will cultivate awareness and appreciation for multiple forms of visual and cultural expression throughout history to present day. The students will explore and use the Elements and Principles of Design to develop a personal aesthetic and engage in self-discovery. The Art Department believes that education in the visual arts provides unique opportunities to explore and communicate ways of knowing, doing, and being that empower students to be successful in their academic, professional, and personal lives.
