The arts are an important part of St. Margaret's curriculum. We believe that art, in all its forms, contributes to the beauty and growth of the individual and society. Our students' talents are thoughtfully nurtured as we develop their interest in art through the ages. By instilling an appreciation for what has come before, we help our students understand the rich variety of artistic expression. We also hope to inspire them to new creative heights, and we encourage them to continue their self-exploration and expression long after they leave St. Margaret's.
Art is a combination of technical skill and highly personal creative expression.
This course is for the serious art student. It is structured by the SAT Review Board and has a requirement of at least 40 works of portfolio quality. These works are photographed on slides and sent to the Advanced Placement office in Princeton, New Jersey. This course usually takes both junior and senior years to complete. AP students are selected by portfolio review.
