Welcome to the Osage City High School Art Department. Osage City is a small community approximately thirty-five miles south of Topeka, Kansas. The high school has a student population of 230.

Our goals in the art department are to increase students' aesthetic awareness and appreciation of the visual arts through exploration, observation, and evaluation, to develop students' creativity and self-expression through different media, and to enhance students' problem-solving and higher-order thinking skills. The curriculum is based on the National Visual Art Standards.

"We cannot live without art. It is everywhere - it surrounds every aspect of our society. Art has so permeated our daily lives that we often are unaware of its presence. It is a powerful economic force - from fashion to architecture, from the creation and design in every manufactured product we use in our daily lives. Visual art is used to achieve a multitude of purposes; it can entertain and beautify; it can teach our persuade."
