Program Description

The Visual Art Department at Germantown Academy is committed to providing a comprehensive education in the arts within the context of a liberal arts education. Our foundation and advanced curriculum is a well-rounded and versatile approach to the study and application of art. It is designed to provide a creatively stimulating education in an open environment of studio classes. Experimentation and innovation, collaboration and social responsibility are themes built into the curriculum. While these courses extend excellent opportunities for the general study of art and life-long arts advocacy, they are also designed to cultivate serious talents in the visual arts. Many of our students have gone on to prominent careers in commercial, fine, and applied arts.

College NIght for the Visual Arts

Last evening, GA Alums Ashley Begley and Amy Canavan, along with parent and master chocolatier, Tom Sciascia were our guest panelists for our annual College night held each spring.  Current students and their parents heard first hand about preparing portfolios for college, choosing between liberal arts colleges and universities and art schools, careers in the arts, and the value of mentors and internships in creative fields.
