Visual Arts in Jeffco
Visual arts programs are an integral part of the core curriculum offered at every Jeffco school.
Jeffco Public Schools provides high-quality instruction, emphasizing a balance of studio art creation, critique and analysis and history. Students receive a curriculum based on the Colorado Academic Standards in drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media, digital media, sculpture and ceramics.
Support Jeffco Visual Arts
Jeffco supports student artists, in large part, with the help of the Jeffco Schools Foundation. Through community support, Jeffco Schools Foundation works to strengthen our arts community, invest in our visual arts educators, and stimulate growth in our young artists.
Jeffco celebrates student artists in our spring art show season. Join us at our art shows to experience awe, live inspired, build community, and support our kindergarten through 12th grade artists.
