Visual Art

Amarillo ISD offers a visual art program that promotes academic knowledge, intellectual development, skill acquisition, visual awareness, and imaginative self-expression.   Visual art classes begin in middle school and continue through high school with advanced courses in drawing, painting, computer graphics/animation, ceramic, jewelry, and AP or IB studio art.  AISD art students participate in area and state competitions including TAEA Visual Arts Scholastic Event and the Texas Panhandle Invitational Student Art Show.

 

Amarillo art students contribute 711 bowls to the first annual Empty Bowl Luncheon and Fundraiser.
