The Visual Arts at Germantown Academy: Zea Mays Print Collaborative at Germantown Academy in Art Center Gallery

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.

Zea Mays Print Collaborative at Germantown Academy in Art Center Gallery

Master printmaker Lynn Peterfreund was an artist in residence in the Lower and Upper School art departments for several days in early November. She brought with her a collection containing the most exceptionally rendered prints from one of the world's only green printmaking studios, Zea Mays, located in Florence, MA. In addition to her gallery talk to Upper School students, Lynn Peterfreund worked with Lower School students in Ms. Grisafi's fourth grade classes.
