Creative Arts
Lakeland's Fine Arts takes students from the fundamental concepts and practices to advanced application, creativity and problem-solving.
Whether you want to learn about art theory and its application in history, put your artistic abilities to the test in a studio course, or take a class for self-fulfillment and enjoyment, we have courses to meet your needs. Fine arts courses include art appreciation and survey of art, drawing, painting, ceramics, jewelry/metals, and sculpture.
We love our students and their creativity. Below are some examples of their fine art creations.
