The Visual Arts Program at Saugatuck Public Schools offers students the chance to explore creativity, develop technical skills, and express themselves across a wide range of artistic media. From introductory courses to college-level studio work, our art curriculum is designed to inspire students at every level.

A Strong Foundation in the Arts

Saugatuck’s art program begins at the elementary level and continues through high school, allowing students to grow and evolve as artists year after year. In the high school’s trimester schedule, students can take a variety of art classes that include:

• Life observation sketching
• Graphic design
• Photography
• Clay and ceramics
• Printmaking
• Digital art and portfolio preparation

The advanced-level art classes partner with Kendall College of Art and Design, giving students the opportunity to earn college credit and prepare digital portfolios for future study or career pursuits.
