The Country Day Art Department is comprised of four teachers and one assistant who teaches art to students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The Lower School art teacher teaches several projects throughout the year, and lessons include both studio processes and an introduction to concepts from Art History. Our spacious art studio is brimming with artists' tools and professional quality supplies that enable our youngest artists to experience success in creating work that is not only visually pleasing, but that also develops excellent technique and an appreciation for the process of art creation.
Middle and High School classes include both 2D and 3D media and are offered as Electives within each division. Offerings include Middle School Drawing, Ceramics, and Studio Art and High School Studio Art, AP Studio Art, Ceramics, and Drawing.
Within these classes, students explore ideas and media while developing ever more sophisticated skills in areas that include drawing, painting, design, printmaking, jewelry design & construction, ceramics, sculpture, and architectural design & construction, depending on the grade level. AP Art History, a year-long college survey class, is offered as an academic class through the History Department in the High School.
