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.
Dave Love Hosts Print Making Workshop for Area Educators
Dave Love is a a founding member of PLP-Prints Link Philadelphia, a group dedicated to nurturing the art of printmaking in young people. The members come from all over the region and provide an interesting cross section of educational institutions- private, charter and public schools and diverse ages from K-12. Love is Coordinating of Professional Development charged with discovering educational opportunities for member teachers and sponsoring workshops to expose the members to new techniques and processes. These workshops are not only beneficial for teachers in that they expand their curricular options, but also keeps the teachers involved in the act of making art. The most recent PLP worksop was held here at GA. An upcoming exhibit at Tyler School of Art in March, features work from all the member institutions and teachers. Love reports "PLP has always made exhibiting part of its mission – and its just one of the reasons why I love working with the group."
