Visual artists at BRMHS can take four years of art classes in either the regular or gifted curriculum as well as participate in a very active art club. In art classes students learn basic and advanced techniques in many different styles and media and find an outlet for their talent and creativity.

Members of the Art Club are active on and off campus through projects, community service, exhibits and travel. Students have traveled to the Tunica Hills for exploration and observation which turned into sketches and painting. More than forty students visited the Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center and created an exhibition from that trip which hung for a month. Student artwork is displayed frequently at the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board office and various Baton Rouge galleries, and the department has its own show at the school each spring.

Art club members are currently finishing a full-color mural on an outside wall of the school Performing Arts building. At Christmas time they made cards for children in local hospitals.
