Visual Arts

Visual Arts classes engage students in all aspects of visual expression: creation, art history, aesthetics, and art criticism.

We seek to convince all students of their creative potential as intelligent viewers, perceptive critics, and sensitive interpreters of the arts, in addition to providing students a nurturing environment in which to produce art. It is our view that all areas of study profit from lively, creative vision and imagination. Giving our students age-appropriate lessons with art materials, tools, techniques, and experiences with creative explorations allows students to develop this valuable part of becoming productive human beings.

Visual arts instruction begins in Preschool, progresses through Lower and Middle School, and continues as an elective through grade 12. AP Studio Art and AP Art History are offered for our students seeking a challenge.
