Northwest Middle School

Welcome to Visual Arts!

Visual Arts is a creative space where students can explore and express themselves through drawing, painting, sculpture, and more. Whether you’re just starting out or have a passion for art, this class encourages you to develop your skills, experiment with different materials, and discover your unique artistic style.

Through hands-on projects and inspiring lessons, you’ll learn about art techniques, famous artists, and how art connects to culture and history. Visual Arts is all about creativity, imagination, and having fun while making something meaningful.

Come join us and bring your ideas to life!
