Fine Arts

Middle School students pursue their interests in the fine arts through an art class each quarter. As they move through the Middle School, they focus on one or two concepts each year as they experiment with a wide range of materials, such as paint, papier-mache, printmaking, clay, craypas, fabric, charcoal and animation technology. In addition to the classic skills of perspective, composition and color, areas of study may include works as diverse as medieval architecture, the mobiles of Alexander Calder, or self-portraiture through collage, and additional electives in studio art, technology and design and graphic art are available to eighth grade students. As well as on-going artwork displays, annual art exhibitions at both the Primary and Middle School campuses afford the opportunity to showcase student work to the general public.
