The BHS Art Department offers an array of opportunities. A student could try a variety of art areas to explore, or if they are on the college-to-career track, they could specialize in a particular art medium and work their way up to one of our four college-level pathways through our ECE UConn Drawing, AP Drawing, AP 2D Art and Design and/or AP 3D Art and Design. Our curriculum works to nurture the student’s ability to communicate visually while engaging in lifelong learning practices that can lend towards a career path and/or personal growth and development.
