The Visual Arts at Westminster School in Simsbury CT.
VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS
Westminster students gain the formal tools necessary to interpret and communicate in non-verbal forms of language. The main emphasis of the program lies upon process; students develop good work habits and motivate themselves and their peers to create cohesive bodies of work. Developing visual and performing artists gain an understanding of past traditions and current methods. Encouraged co-curricular connections strengthen the act of making art.
The faculty in the Visual and Performing Arts Department are practicing artists, for whom teaching and the creative process are symbiotic. They believe that the arts experience for students should provide a multi-year perspective. Daily classes are enhanced by occasional trips to local area performances, galleries, and museums. In addition, professional artists come to campus and interact with students in workshops, lectures, and performances.
