The Visual Arts Department nurtures and cultivates unique qualities of each student in order to discover their creative abilities. Students are exposed to a new way of artistic thinking through a visual world of expression and interpretation. Students learn visual communication skills in an inspiring environment, under the guidance of teachers and artists. A wide variety of media are explored as students learn self-discipline, critical thinking, and decision making. Art history, culture, and Judaic imagery are woven into the curriculum. The students perceptions of the world are challenged and enriched as they explore the their identity through the creative process.

Our students showcase their work in venues ranging from individual solo shows to exhibitions on Milken’s campuses and on university campuses throughout Los Angeles. Participation in regional and national contests offers diverse experiences and exposure for the student artists. In addition to fostering their skills, the students also participate in art-related community service projects, serving local as well as global communities.
