Past Productions
Visual Arts
Washburn's Visual Arts Department helps students develop their visual art skills in a supportive, rigorous environment.
With a dedicated teaching staff and the support of the artistic community, students pursue areas of interest including drawing, painting, ceramics and IB Art with a mixed media course called Studio Art as a prerequisite.
Washburn students graduate with a broad range of experience and the skills necessary to succeed in postsecondary studies.
Art Club
Art Club is open to all students and usually meets in room 109 every other week. If interested in joining, contact Diane Anderson at diane.anderson@mpls.k12.mn.us
