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.

Kindergarten Fish Prints and Winter Landscapes


Kindergarteners made marbleized suminagashi paper and then printed on top of this special paper.
Kindergarten artists created fish printing plates and printed in a way inspired by the traditional style of Japanese fishermen, gyotaku (“fish rubbing”).

Kindergarten learned about the colorful landscapes of artist Ted Harrison. In the style of Harrison, Kindergarteners painted their landscapes using warm and cool colors. Kindergarten artists learned how to make colors lighter by tinting with white paint.
