Get to know Room 125....
With commitment, hard work, and a willingness to take risks, anyone can make art. Art is not about 'drawing a straight line', it is about expressing an idea visually. In room 125, we combine learning skill and media with sharing ideas and concepts. Students are introduced to artists from all art movements to support their inquiry into art making. Courses are scaffolded to offer full preparation for creating portfolios either for personal gains, or for college applications.
