Visual Arts

Students in Preschool and Junior Kindergarten create art daily through projects designed with the development of the child in mind and incorporating themes such as self, family, friends, nature, and the seasons. Starting in Senior Kindergarten, students travel twice a week to our art studios, and projects become more involved and sophisticated. From a young age, students are introduced to a wide variety of media and techniques, including drawing, painting, collage, plaster, ceramics, and sculpture construction to create still lifes, abstracts, landscapes, and self-portraits. In Middle School,  film and video enter the visual arts curriculum. Throughout our program, students develop a rich visual vocabulary through study of global artistic traditions and the work of famous artists, with art projects and classroom learning being thoughtfully coordinated to integrate learning across disciplines. Displays of artwork from all grade levels are exhibited in the school's art gallery and throughout the school.
