Father Ryan's Visual Arts Program has provided opportunities I never thought I could have as a high school student. Through the guidance and support of my teachers and peers, I have been fortunate to be interviewed by a local publication for my work, received awards for my pieces, displayed art in exhibitions, and sold pieces.

Visual Arts

Father Ryan's Visual Arts Program provides students the opportunity to explore creative mediums and find their artistic voice. With two-dimensional and three-dimensional courses, students experience drawing, graphic design, photography, collage, weaving, painting, printmaking, pottery, sculpture, architecture, and more.

Three Advanced Placement courses are offered and encouraged for students who would like to pursue the visual arts in college. Our program has seen great success with students accepted to the Tennessee Governor's School for the Arts and many Scholastic Art awards.
