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.
4th grade Autumn Leaf Compositions
-->
Students
spent a beautiful fall day collecting leaves and then arranging them to create compositions in art class. Inspired by the event, the students wrote verse in their homerooms to reflect on
their experience. The leaf compositions
were photographed, printed, and compiled for display. These compositions were also used to create cyanotype prints on fabric. The individual fabric squares will be sewn
together to create a quilt, for auction in the Germantown Academy Parents’
Fundraiser
