Description
Each art teacher may, at their discretion, agree to supervise a limited number (one to two per semester) of Junior or Senior in Art students for an Independent Study in art. Independent Study students may choose to work on a self-driven, long-term project, or prepare a portfolio for college application use. Independent Study students MUST be motivated, have a strong work ethic, and have a serious desire to pursue their art. Independent Studies can be either full or half year, depending on the student's individual goals. Independent Studies are pass/fail courses.
Please see an art teacher and your school counselor for additional requirements.
