Upper School Visual Arts
Imagination, creativity and personal expression are nurtured and celebrated in our upper school visual arts program. While some students are honing their skills for a career in the arts, others just love the opportunity to explore new ways of expression.
Unique course offerings, such as 3D Art: Glass and filmmaking, are taught by passionate teachers, many of whom are working artists. Annual art exhibitions allow the entire student body to celebrate our artists. Visiting artists and lecturers as well as trips to museums, galleries and artist studios enhance the students’ understanding of art. A vast array of equipment is available to students, including flatbed printing press, laser cutter and ceramic wheels, kilns and a fleet of cameras.
Rotating exhibits can be found throughout the school, and annual art exhibitions allow the entire student body to celebrate our artists and their creative accomplishments. The Shah Gallery is a permanent art gallery that holds shows curated by the Art Club as well as the shows for each Honors Directed Portfolio student.
