Art

Although Art Survey is the only art class required for graduation, you'll probably find the range and depth of our art courses too enticing not to try at least one more class, maybe all that you can squeeze in. Whether it's ceramics or painting, art classes offer a fun, relaxing way to learn new skills. But they also challenge you to think about the world, beauty, knowledge, yourself, in ways that are deep and sometimes unexpected.

Of course, if you're already serious about art, Kent is a wonderful place to explore it further, with challenging offerings like sculpture, architecture or advanced photography. Art courses can be taken more than once because the syllabi change every term and there's both Advanced Placement Studio Art and AP Art History. Or, you can focus on a particular topic of your own choosing, through an independent study project.

And even the places you study art at Kent are inspiring. The studios have floor to ceiling windows, illuminating the work spaces with natural light and offering spectacular views of Mount Algo and the Macedonia Valley. The hallways of the building are wide and almost always covered with student work. It feels like a real artist's loft, which is appropriate, as you become a real artist.
