Visual Arts
All Nobles students take at least one semester of introductory-level visual arts as a graduation requirement. Around 80% of students continue to intermediate-level courses, and approximately 25% take Advanced Placement level arts courses. Students are instructed in Photography (darkroom and digital), Painting, Drawing, Ceramics, and Digital Design.
Students' art can be found on display in the Dawson Gallery, Schmid Gallery, and on Exposure, Nobles' visual arts website. Additionally, the Foster Gallery showcases the work of external, regional artists. Finally, Calliopé, a student-run literary and arts magazine, produces two to three issues each year.

Famous quotes containing the words visual and/or arts:
“To write well, to have style ... is to paint. The master faculty of style is therefore the visual memory. If a writer does not see what he describes—countrysides and figures, movements and gestures—how could he have a style, that is originality?”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“The present is an age of talkers, and not of doers; and the reason is, that the world is growing old. We are so far advanced in the Arts and Sciences, that we live in retrospect, and dote on past achievement.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
