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.

3rd Grade Photo Bomb


3rd graders studied a selection of famous artworks and chose one image to work with. The
students then imagined how they might incorporate
themselves into the artwork. Using their iPads, students took photographs of each other in
several poses and then uploaded these images to Sketchbook Pro. They erased the background behind their body and created a second layer that held the famous artwork. The isolated image of the student was then overlaid and transformed to fit onto the image of the famous Artwork. African Inspired Art
- The students had a great time with their Africa Unit in art. They constructed stunning paper masks
that were inspired by authentic African masks. The students used 3-dimensional thinking and
symmetry to create realistic and exaggerated features. Then, the 3rd graders used Kente cloth
design concepts to create Paste Paper Paintings that were used to make book covers for their
African Folktales.
