Central High School's Visual Arts Department provides a solid introduction to the formal, technical, and expressive qualities of several art media. After completing introductory courses, many students continue work in upper level, honors, International Baccalaureate, and Advanced Placement courses focusing on ceramics, drawing, jewelry/sculpture, photography, painting, and art history. Many of Central’s visual artists participate in several juried exhibits throughout the year, including an end of the year exhibit put on in partnership with Concordia University.
