The four-year fine art program (which parallels the design programs) includes foundation courses in drawing and painting; Dual Enrollment courses in fine art; and Advanced Placement courses in art history, studio art drawing, 2-D design/painting, and 3-D design/sculpture.

The option to take fine art classes without design coursework is not available at DASH. We do not offer a stand-alone fine art program. Instead, all students complete fine art classes during each of their four years of high school in addition to their separate design program classes.

DASH’s unique visual arts magnet curriculum combines fine art with practical design concentrations to provide a well-rounded art education that has proven successful for over three decades. As a result, DASH students compete very effectively for college admissions and scholarships.
