Visual Arts for All Ages

Lower School Visual Art:
The goal of the elementary art program at Pinewood is to engage students in hands-on art experiences that help them develop their visual literacy skills and learn about the role of art in the world. Students will discover how art can communicate their own ideas, and may become interested in creating increasingly realistic depictions and mastering new techniques. Through experimenting, exploring, problem-solving and the use of various art materials, the students will create and learn how their artistic skills can grow in many different ways. The lower school art program also provides an art club once a week, called Art SPARK, for additional exploratory art time.

Middle School Art Enrichments (offered every nine weeks):
2D Art - this art enrichment provides middle school students who are serious artists independent time to grow and further their skills with various paint, pencil and pen mediums to create art of their own creation.

Fiber Arts - students are able to explore various fiber art materials and techniques such as felting, weaving, batik sewing and more.

Upper School (MS & HS) Visual Art:
The upper school visual arts courses combine the importance of the fundamentals of art while also allowing space and time to explore a student’s individual creative inclinations. Middle and high school students will learn a variety of mediums in their projects. Creativity and knowledge will continue to grow from semester to semester and year to year. Whichever level the student starts will be met respectively, and they will be pushed to reach their maximum artistic potential during their time in the classroom.
