The programme is enriched through a guest artist series in which professional artists and artisans are invited to the School by the art teacher to share their talents with our students. In the Junior School, art classes are part of the curriculum and all students participate. Emphasis in these classes is on the foundation principles of colour, composition, design and art history. The student is encouraged to express appreciation of art history and its visual imagery through projects in a variety of media. In the Senior School, art may be taken as an elective.
Students work in depth on a broad range of fine arts and crafts design areas.
While emphasis is placed on developing a solid background in fundamental drawing, painting and art history, each student is also encouraged to undertake projects in areas of particular aptitude and interest. For students interested in continuing to study or work in art, special attention is given to the development of a portfolio necessary, in particular, for International Baccalaureate candidates.
