The Visual Arts at Germantown Academy: GA Students Exhibit at Tyler School of Arts

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.

Mr. Love says, "the GA work comes from all of my drawing and painting classes at GA-from 2D Foundations all the way through Advanced Drawing/Painting III. Ms. Katrina Rakowski, student teacher from Tyler, also directed a number of the print projects. The work is very strong and has gotten a great response."
