Art
Students in General Art, Advanced Art, and Ceramics, and Design Craft learn a variety of skills as they exercise their artistic abilities using many different media and many different techniques.
Every year in March or April, 60 to 100 art students of Ms. Goldin and Ms. Purdy visit the Getty Center to learn about paintings, sculpture, and crafts from centuries past, and see the museum buildings and the famous garden.

Ms. Goldin's art students worked closely with officers of the Los Angeles Police Department, Pacific Division, and artists Zander and Terrence Stasse to design and paint a beautiful new mural on the PE side near Palms Boulevard in 2018. The mural is themed, "Reach for the Stars." This work was part of the Los Angeles Community Street Art Initiative, which builds friendships between Los Angeles children and police officers through the creation of public art.
