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.

English Students Head to the Studio
Michelle
Friedman brought her class Graphic Novel students to Dave Love's studio to learn some techniques about the art form and to
gain some insight into visual design issues they should consider in
developing their own graphic novel. Topics included- how to unify the
panels visually through repetition, how
materials can compliment the emotional aspects being conveyed and how
students with little drawing experience can produce evocative work by
combining the rich interplay of image and word.
Look for an exhibition of GA's graphic novels in the mini-locker gallery in the days ahead.
