Art

Creative expression and building awareness of both natural and man-made objects in their environment are important goals of the art program. Students learn to more easily distinguish beauty, recognize good quality design, and acquire a greater appreciation of their visual world by studying the elements and principles of art within it.

Students in the Lower School are introduced to a variety of media and techniques, are exposed to great artists and their works, and are encouraged to be self-expressive. In the Upper School, students continue with a more in-depth study of art appreciation, and are given more independence and flexibility in their choices of media and materials to express themselves.
