Visual Arts
blakeartbecky6 paulstudentfilmThe visual arts are an important focus at the Khabele School.  Students who learn to express themselves through art tend to be more confident, happy and focused academically.  Current research supports the concept that analytical education is alone not sufficient to prepare young people for an ever changing world.  According to portraitportrait2 reedthe Washington Post, “In our competitive and evolving economy, being logical and analytical is no longer enough. Left brain is out. Right-brain noodling, the kind of processing that is intuitive and creative and synthetic, will soon rule the day.”  Khabele offers classes in studio art (from beginning painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking to AP Studio Art), film-making, media arts, journalism, and digital and darkroom photography.
