The Great Neck Library is exhibiting a sampling of art from all the art courses offered at the North Shore Hebrew Academy High School from November 1st to November 28th at the Main Library, 159 Bayview Ave. in Great Neck. All are welcome to attend a reception on Monday, Nov. 7 at 5:30 p.m.
The study of art is an exploration of human creativity. Art students leave the classroom not only with an appreciation of art but also with a sense of empowerment because they have learned to become creative, original thinkers.
Students see, feel, think, make aesthetic choices, explore a variety of media and self-evaluate as part of the studio experience.
Higher-level courses explore diverging interests. The search for original concepts, the integral development of technique and observational skills, and the cultivation of respect for the elements of art, and principles of design all foster a sense of limitless artistic possibilities for our students.
The NSHAHS consists of art courses for both non-art major students and those who seek to specialize. The introductory classes include foundational multimedia experiences in the elements of art (Elements: Line, Shape, Space, Color, Texture, and Pattern) and principles of design (Principles: Balance, Unity, Rhythm, Proportion, Color Interaction and Relationships).
Specialized classes include Pre-Advanced Placement and Advanced Placement Studio Art, Fashion Design, and Architecture. The curriculum accommodates students’ varied interests and art industry trends, providing students with the ability to engage higher-level problem-solving techniques and develop fine-tuned technical skills.
Upon completion, they will be able to produce professional grade portfolios and meet the admissions criteria of the most selective art schools.
