| Students
interested in studio art, music, architecture, dance, ceramics, photography,
or drama have a number of options available to them. Some students
may wish to pursue the arts within the framework of a liberal arts
education or they may wish to enter into a pre-professional program
or specific school in their area of interest. It is important that
students considering one of these areas discuss the various options
with their family, their counselor with the appropriate teacher at
LHS, and in some cases, with private art, music, or dance instructors.
Students who intend to major in art will often be required to submit
a portfolio of their work to the college admissions office or art
school. Students contemplating doing this are encouraged to begin
their portfolio in the spring of their junior year and take the Portfolio
class given by the art department. Those music or drama students applying
to a pre-professional program may need to plan on an on-campus audition,
and should contact the school to determine when the audition dates
occur. If you are applying to a liberal arts program, it is unlikely
that a portfolio or audition will be required. |
