Visual Arts

From Exploration to Mastery

The Middle School visual arts program begins with experimentation and discovery. Boys first explore materials and techniques, while learning the seven elements of art: line, color, shape, value, form, texture and space. As students progress, they focus more deeply on abstract concepts and complete substantial projects that require craftsmanship, creativity, and originality. The program prepares boys for the individualized and rigorous Upper School visual arts curriculum.
