At OUS, every student is an artist.  Our students are excited to explore the visual arts in Art class.  This lively, interactive learning environment encourages students to express the creative self using a variety of media and techniques including:  painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, and printmaking.  Artwork is displayed throughout the year, which boosts the student's since of confidence in his work. 

In Art class, young artists explore basic art history, the elements of art, and the principles of design.  Lessons are integrated with science, math, language arts, and social studies concepts.  The diverse subject matter in Art stimulates the imagination and benefits a student's intellectual, personal, and social development.  

"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." Aristotle
