Bring your artistic skills to life
"What I can’t put into words I can put into shapes on a canvas, and communicate with so many people through my art. I learned that with art, there is no barrier to communication, and being able to see other peoples experiences through their art, and share my own, is a privilege." - Lucie Love Salsbury
The North Valley Arts Academies (NVAA) Visual Art Program combines the use of traditional tools with today's modern technology. Students explore a vast array of artistic media, coding, web design, photography, and more.
Students learn how to market their artwork and apply for a multitude of opportunities available in the community, as they progress through the course plan. NVAA helps narrow the scope of work, specializing and refining techniques, with the goal of looking to excel in an art-related career.
Students photograph their work and create a website to document their journey throughout their high school career, creating a great resource for college and internship opportunities.
