Zamorano
Fine Arts Magnet must be seen to believe the beauty
and art found on campus. Zamorano provides students with the opportunity
to develop artistic knowledge and art appreciation, specifically
in the visual arts. With the assistance of professional artists-in-residence
and our highly trained faculty, students learn two- and three-dimensional
art, textile and graphic arts, weaving, painting, drawing, art
history, sculpture, photography, and pottery wheel ceramics. Students
also have the opportunity to participate in the annual “Celebration
of Art” and exhibit original artwork throughout the community.
The integration of art into the basic skills curriculum enhances
visual awareness and provides students with a stimulating and
creative environment.

Magnet Mission Statement
Students will develop an understanding and appreciation for the arts. The students will use this
knowledge and apply it to the world around them while becoming productive and responsible
citizens in our community. While at Zamorano, students will immerse themselves in a
multifaceted approach to art as a learnable, visual language. Students will integrate creative
expression, cultural and historical heritage, artistic perception, art history, and art criticism. Art
will be integrated into all areas of the curriculum with emphases on ceramics, painting, drawing,
photography, sculpture and graphic arts
.
