Ms. Dodge's Visual Arts 




Welcome! Here you'll find information about the visual art classes that I teach, student portfolios, ​the National Art Honor Society, Georgetown High School Yearbook, ​​and the Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards. ​  ​

Visual Arts Education



Visual Arts Education inspires students to perceive and shape the visual, spatial, and aesthetic characteristics of the world around them. Using a variety of ways to explore, learn, and communicate, students develop their capacity for imaginative and reflective thinking. Visual arts is a continuously evolving field that includes the traditional “fine arts” of drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture; the design fields including  ceramics,  and graphic design and the technologies such as film, video, digital imaging ,digital photography and other new media.
