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.

The Cardboard Cup


Each year the 3D Design students face e the challenge of building functionsl shoes out of nothing except cardboard! As if that were not a big enough challenge, the shoes need to be a minimum of 6 inches off the ground! After laboring away for a few weeks, we go outside for our "race walk" where we quite literally test our footwear. The results is always filled with giggles and someone walks away with the coveted "Cardboard Cup"! 
Good fun and great Design!
