Welcome  to the Pewaukee High School Visual Art Department.  You will find many visual art resources, links to our programs, classes and more.  

This website includes a great deal of helpful information.  At the top you will find tabs and drop-down tabs for many of the outstanding programs and classes we offer.  Students will find their assignments embedded in the class pages for each of the classes we teach.  For syllabi and standards information click the Classes tab. 

Ready for 2015-16

Welcome to a new school year!  
It's hard to believe it is time to plan and get ready for 2015-16.  This past school year was very successful and event-filled for the Visual Art Department at PHS.  We were fortunate to have many students achieve, inspire and create at high levels.  Here are a few of our accomplishments:
  • Multiple AP Studio Art students scored 4s and 5s on their Nationally recognized portfolios.  Congrats to Lauren Dal Santo, Alyssa Van Altena for their 5 score and Maija Beaudoin for her 4 score. 
  • 10 students were recognized with Scholastic Art Honorable Mentions and 1 with a Silver Key award
  • Esther (Kelly) Kempen PHS 2015 alum, was awarded the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) Dean's Recognition Scholarship for four years
  • Ally Pfister PHS 2015 alum, was awarded the Gene Frett Visual Art Scholarship.
  • The Pewaukee Kiwanis Club partnered with the Art department using Esther (Kelly) Kempen's design for the 20th Anniversary Beach Party Tee Shirt.

Standards-Based Grading

Pewaukee High School has moved to Standards Based Grading (SBG).  The Visual Art department piloted an SBG rubric last year during second semester with the Introduction to Digital Imaging Course.  We will now use a similar rubric with all Visual Art classes.  There are 4 standards that we will base grades on in all studio/digital courses.  The only exception to this will be Art History and AP Art History.  Mr. Lamp will share more on the specifics under his Art History class tab.  For more on SBG click this link to see details.  

For more on Standards Based Grading for the High School please view Mr. Van Hulle's Screen Cast here.

The PHS Visual Art department will be traveling to Italy in summer 2016 as approved by the Pewaukee School Board. This travel experience is open to students who have successfully completed Art History, AP Art History and/or AP Studio Art.  The 10 day tour will feature stops in Venice, Florence, Assisi, Ravenna, Pompeii and Rome.  We have held the meeting and distributed information on the trip to Italy.  If you are interested and missed this information please see the detailed webpage for more.  Mr. Lamp also has printed handouts with details.

Hey I Wanna See Some Art!

There are lots of art galleries within this site.  If you click on the class tab at the top a drop down menu will show all the classes we offer in the Visual Art Department.  Each of those pages has a gallery of some of the works created by students in the course, (except for those that are new courses). There is also a chart of all the courses offered that may be helpful to plan your art future.

Parent Communication

This year the teachers and administration at Pewaukee High School are more dedicated than ever to trying to communicate thoroughly and regularly with parents about their students' work and progress in classes.  According to school parent surveys parents want more email notices of progress.  To that end the art department will have students regularly sending home email notification following class critiques.  Students will tell you in the email how they did with the critique and why they feel this way.  Look for these emails to start coming home soon as we are getting close to finishing our first units.
