Art historians are concerned with gathering information about works of art and the artists who created them. They try to find answers to questions such as when, where and why was the artwork created.
    “It is virtually impossible to imagine any society with out art of some kind.  Indeed, the visual arts, music, drama, dance and other forms of arts, add a sense of pleasure of life.”
As part of the history selective system seniors may select Global history courses.  Often students are interested in course work that relates to their interests.  The arts are an important part of the curriculum at Springfield High School.  Other courses are Western Civilization and Global Realities
