Visual Arts

The Visual Arts Program at Friends Seminary provides a place for all students to explore and share their creative potential. Throughout the program, Kindergarten through Grade 12, the Visual Arts curriculum celebrates this inner creativity by encouraging students to observe the visual world around them and by supporting them in expressing their vision with greater skill and discipline.
Friends Seminary is committed to providing a rich program in traditional studio arts and in twenty-first century new media. All students are encouraged to take advantage of our offerings in a diversity of media as they discover their own inner voices and their craft as thinkers and makers.

Most courses can be taken at increasingly advanced levels. Please speak with the teacher to explore this option. For example: if you have taken Ceramics and would like to take it again at an advanced level, you can. It will be recorded on your transcript as Ceramics II and you will be exposed to new techniques and advanced assignments.
