The Graphic Design center offers the students the opportunity to use technology to create art or to aid in creating art.


The Art Library and How to Draw Books Center offers the students the opportunity to collaborate with reading about art or using books to help them in their art making process.


The Control Center is an area in the classroom that a student can use to relax for a few minutes so that they may be in the best condition to create responsibly and respectfully.


The Gratitude Center is an area that the students can use to communicate who or what they are grateful for in their fourty minute art class. They put their message on a sticky note and stick the note to the poster and the teacher reads them aloud at the end of class.
