Why Take Ceramics?
Students should take my class because they have lots of untapped creativity inside that they don't know about. My class will help them to discover important parts of who they are, in a safe, encouraging, and fun environment.

This program is intended for highly motivated students committed to serious study in art. IB/AP work involves significantly more time than most art courses. The program is not intended for casually interested students. Students are asked to select and submit their work for evaluation by a group of artists and teachers. The evaluation is intended to allow students to demonstrate their ability to deal with the fundamental concerns of the visual arts. This portfolio is intended to address a broad interpretation of three-dimensional concepts in visual arts. TOK curriculum will be incorporated during the school year.
