ABOUT BOOKER HIGH VPA
Booker High School is home to the Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) program, which offers rigorous, pre-professional training in the arts in five disciplines: Dance, Digital Film & Motion Design, Music, Theatre, and Visual Art.
The VPA Visual Art program centers on the serious and passionate student. The department serves students who confidently use their art to express feelings and ideas. This confidence emerges when students feel nurtured. Thus, every day students are encouraged to think differently. They are inspired to dream and to go beyond expectations.
The success of the Visual Art department relies on three major factors. Firstly, teachers provide individual instruction, which helps students master skills. Secondly, art students have three hours each day to hone their abilities. Because they can work continuously, artists immerse themselves into their projects. Finally, the studios and tools provided offer an ideal environment for exploration. Our 9,000 square feet of studio space houses an array of supplies and mediums for everything from metalwork to screen printing. Therefore, our students receive an unlimited arena in which their imaginations can run wild. If they can dream it, they can make it in the Visual Art Department.
ABOUT BOOKER MIDDLE VPA
Booker Middle School Fine Art VPA takes highly interested and talented students and provides them with the instruction, resources and collegiate level studio practices needed to become outstanding artists. We believe art is a tool in which we use to gain a greater understanding and develop and deeper admiration for the world around us. By developing a student’s passion for the arts, we help them gain a greater respect for their environment while providing them a platform to share their perspectives and vivid imaginations.
Booker Middle School’s Digital Design VPA program is dedicated to the production of original and expressive artwork using a digital medium. Students nurture their artistic growth with the use of technology, hands-on activities, and risk-taking. We believe that art is a transformative experience, and our vision should be shared with the world.
