Beacon’s Visual Arts program explores various media and the deeper theories behind art making. Critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication drive innovation in our society and these skills are embedded in the Visual Arts curriculum. Students work in a variety of media from pencil to paint and ceramics to found object sculpture. The study of art history and contemporary art practice are keys to developing student artists as they define what visual art will be in their postsecondary lives. Students are taught techniques and encouraged throughout the four years to find their individual artistic voice through experimentation and innovation. With these skills students will come to define themselves and their worldview through their art.
