The visual arts classes in the Upper School give students the opportunity to learn and study about who they are as well as other peoples and cultures. Through art history, discussion and technical work, students will be exposed to a wide variety of historical/socioeconomic/cultural thought and perspectives, political structures, and the basic fundamentals of art.
At Harvey, a priority for teachers of visual arts is to help inspire and motivate students to think passionately and creatively and to empower them to respond to the world with insight and innovation.
With an open and supportive approach to visual art, we encourage our students at Harvey to communicate their thoughts using traditional as well as new media. We instruct to teach new skills and practice artistic techniques, and we inspire students to visualize and materialize their ideas. Accessing art as visual language helps students to become analytical thinkers and consider new ways to problem solve, thus making lasting contributions to our global society.
