Visual Arts

Lower School

In Lower School visual art, students use a wide range of materials such as paint, clay, fiber, pastels, and cardboard to explore their creativity. The elements of art are taught while also addressing art history, contemporary art, current events, cross-curricular tie-ins, and student interest.

Middle School

In Middle School visual art, students develop artistic skills in the disciplines of bookbinding, clay, drawing, fiber arts, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Lessons are inspired by art historical and multi-cultural themes. The breadth of activities and materials allows students to apply concepts and foster self-expression in an environment that nurtures individual growth.
