The Visual Arts program at Portsmouth Christian Academy integrates the study of aesthetics, art criticism, art history, and art production. Students engage in making art, viewing and discussing art, reading and writing about art, learning about the context in which art has been created, and pondering fundamental questions about art. Students progress from story-telling and developing creativity in early grades, to learning more art history and art concepts in Junior High. At the Upper School level, students are able to focus on specific forms of art they find interest in, choosing from courses like Observational Drawing, Printmaking and Design, and Photography.
