Various art classes are taught at Euclid. For example: In 2D art, students will create two-dimensional artwork. Students will use a variety of media and techniques. Students will expand their understanding of how color works. In 3-D art class students will create 3-D works of art. These concepts will be combined with the academic skills of art theory and productions to allow students to uniquely express themselves and create artwork that is meaningful in a three-dimensional format. Various media will be explored. Students will focus on the media of clay.

Student art is proudly displayed throughout our school and at district offices. Special exhibitions are held in various locations in the Metro area.
