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.

Leonardo inspired Flying Machines


Each year 3D Design students study the work of Leonardo DaVinci, specifically, his flying machines.
We then ask ourselves, if Leonardo had the  materials that we do in the sculpture studio, what might he construct? we test our machines by flying them off the highest point at GA--the green roof. To really see how well they fly-we put an egg inside!
The results are always interesting and occasionally messy.
