Classes

The art classes in the Public Art and Design Academy.

Public Space and Design-this class is the introductory class for the PADA academy. This class will focus on public art, and its relationship between the city and its’ population. The class is an exploratory class on all aspects of public art: history, purpose, placement, value, and types of media used such as concrete, paint, glass, wood, iron, steel and ceramic. The students will work in groups to prepare public style art, exploring the media and learn to understand how it will survive and be affected by the environment. Course required for PADA sophomores. 

PADA Core (Public Art and Design)-this class is the second class in the series for the PADA academy. This class is a class that will focus on public art and its planning. The expansion from the previous year’s public pace and design class’ concept of public art will be addressed as students learn about the uses and purpose of public art. Students will develop skills in presentations, public speaking, graphic design/advertising, and develop a plan and investigate their personal career goals. Students will work as a team and individually throughout the year creating and planning public art. The course projects will develop from in-class artwork to working with the Brentwood Art Commission to prepare for producing public art for their senior year intern class. 

PADA Internship (Brentwood City Art)-internship course is designed to give PADA students career experience in the visual arts, particularly in the career area of public art. This course will focus on professional behaviors that will give students a competitive edge in the work force after Liberty High School. Students will spend most of the year working as a team to complete a work of public art for the City of Brentwood. Course required for the PADA seniors.
