In Armstrong’s vibrant Visual Arts program, students cultivate their creative voices through a thoughtfully scaffolded curriculum that builds skills and confidence year after year. As they progress, they engage with a wide range of media, experiment with new techniques, and are encouraged to take creative risks—fostering curiosity, self-expression, and a lasting appreciation for the arts.
Through both guided exploration and independent creation, students deepen their understanding of artistic processes while making meaningful connections between art, culture, and the world around them.
Materials and concepts explored include:
Elements of Art and Principles of Design
Drawing, Painting, and Printmaking
Weaving, Embroidery, and Fabric Collage
Sculpture using Clay, Papier-mâché, and Upcycled Materials
