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.

Textile Designer Erin Stevens Visits Art Classes

Philadelphia University has been a leader in the textile industry since 1884. Our region has a vast history in the textile industry, but there are few people who are actually familiar with the field.

Last week, Erin Stevens ( graduate assistant in Textile Design) was at GA discussing the textile design profession with our painting, drawing, and sculpture students. According to Stevens, "This major is ideal for high school students with a love of art, fashion, design, or science. Philadelphia University's undergraduate program offers a Bachelors of Science degree with industry relevant technology in printing, weaving, and knitting. This degree is a marriage of creativity and artistic skill with technical design and innovation."
