Art
Richmond Hill H.S. explores the arts through a variety of studio and theory-based classes. Visual arts classes explore all levels of drawing, painting, sculpture, graphic design, and photography, providing students with high-level art skills and exposure to the tools that designers and fine artists use in the professional world. Our new state-of-the-art Digital Music Production course sequence prepares students for hands-on careers in audio engineering and composition. Richmond Hill's artist-in-residence cultural partnership provides direct instruction from a professional working artist, exposing many students to careers in the arts. Students have the opportunity to earn several college credits through partnerships with CUNY York, SUNY Farmingdale, and Molloy Colleges. The Academy of Media, Art, and Design concentration allows students to take three full years of art in preparation for the NYC Comprehensive Exam in Visual Arts and build a professional portfolio that can serve in the college application process. Many Academy students go on to earn a Regents Endorsed Diploma with Advanced Designation in the Arts and a special Certificate of Arts Achievement upon graduation. Artists at RHHS exhibit their work at our annual Arts Fair or as winners of citywide contests. Students have had their artwork displayed throughout NYC, including The Queens Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and private corporate offices.
