Dear Parents and Students:
Welcome to Portfolio. With your cooperation we will work together to provide the best possible learning environment in which the student is successful.
Course Description:
Portfolio is a class that will allow the students to understand more in depth the idea of a studio artist as well as the freedom to explore their specialized area of interest. This class is also built upon the ideas of the student as an individual; the projects, deadlines, and the student in each case will choose topics.
