Arts Connections
TNA's Arts Curriculum
Our Arts Curriculum is built on scaffolding basic skills into higher levels of thinking, and producing an artifact that shows the goal of each lesson.
Students are instructed on design, color theory, perspective, digital media, ceramics, and theater studies, with artists who work in these disciplines being studied during each lesson. Students also have the opportunity to enter into both regional and nationally-recognized art shows, where a number of our students have won prizes!
After-School Arts Connection Program
In our after-school Arts Connection program, we place a strong emphasis on the exploration of personal artistic expression and on civic cultural programs that nurture an appreciation of the arts. Our students work closely with practicing artists from the Pittsburgh community, and though programming can change during the year, frequent offerings include:
