The core of the curriculum is the Studio Art class, which is
offered for two periods each day starting in the 10th grade and
which incorporates art history. Students may take Visual Arts
Emphasis for up to four years, working with greater independence
as they build a representative portfolio of signature pieces and take
on the challenge of mounting a senior show.
Each year, we take our Arts Emphasis students to National
Portfolio Day, which is organized by the National Association of
ar
Schools of Art and Design. Member schools review student
artwork, discuss their programs, and answer questions about
professional careers in art. Stuart Hall students regularly receive
provisional acceptance based on their portfolio reviews.
Visual Arts Emphasis students have been accepted into the Pratt
Institute, the Parsons School of Design, the School of the Art Institute
of Chicago, the Otis School of Design, and the Rhode Island School of
Design. Regardless of whether they decide to make a career as artists,
