Visual Arts

Cornerstone students find themselves immersed in the worlds and styles of influential painters and sculptors as they explore the visual arts each week. Throughout the year, they build their understanding of color, balance, pattern, and space through a variety of projects designed to foster creative expression and develop their skills. With each grade, students delve deeper into art and design concepts, resulting in a cumulative skill set and appreciation for the visual arts.

In Middle and Upper School, students can further enhance their skills in the visual arts by continuing their art studies. They will learn about the elements of art—line, shape, color, value, form, texture, and space—and how each element forms the foundation of all artwork. Our Visual Arts program will also explore different time periods and the active artists of those eras, discussing and illustrating artwork based on these signature styles.
