Encouraging Creativity in Flourishing Artists
Providence School’s Visual Arts courses explore how the arts enrich the human experience as a whole. Our studio courses – ranging from beginning levels to Advanced Placement® – are designed for students to discover the principles, processes, and fundamental methods of creating 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D art. Advanced Visual Arts students have the opportunity to build upon their creativity and skills to produce impressive portfolios of personal artwork for college applications and professional art shows.
