The arts are an integral part of every child's education. Southern Berkshire Regional School District's
Art Department strives to ensure that all students will experience the joy of creating art and the self-confidence that comes from the development of these skills. We build our curriculum around the idea that tomorrow's leaders are, in part, today's students of critical thinking. Our classes are designed to balance art for art's sake with the academic integration of artistically creative thinking in math, science, language and history.

High school students can elect to take a variety of art and design classes to meet their graduation requirements. All of the art classes give students the opportunity to use their hands to learn age-appropriate techniques and processes, to practice observation, and to use their minds to solve visual and spatial problems.

SBRSD's middle and high school facilities include two fine art studios, a ceramics studio fully equipped with two kilns and 12 electric potter's wheels, a black and white photography darkroom, and ample computer labs with Internet access and cutting-edge design software. The graphic design program utilizes up-to-date versions of industry-standard -  Adobe Creative Suite.
