At Sagemont Prep, our Upper Campus arts program offers a robust and immersive experience designed to foster creativity, technical skill, and a deeper appreciation for the arts.
In middle school, students focus on building a strong foundation in artistic techniques while developing a thoughtful understanding of artistic concepts. They explore a variety of materials and methods, including drawing, printmaking, painting, and collage, while learning about the elements of art and principles of design. The curriculum encourages students to reflect on their own work, evaluate the work of others, and participate in meaningful discussions and critiques that enhance their confidence and critical thinking skills.
In high school, students have the opportunity to personalize their artistic journey by focusing on areas such as drawing, painting, or digital art. Through drawing and painting, students refine their observational skills, experiment with advanced techniques, and explore diverse artistic styles to develop their unique voices. Digital art introduces them to modern tools such as computers, cameras, and editing software, enabling them to create innovative 2D designs and explore fields like graphic design and digital illustration.
For advanced students, the program offers the opportunity to create an AP Studio Art portfolio, which allows them to earn college credit while showcasing their technical expertise, creative vision, and artistic growth. These portfolios serve as a culmination of their work, demonstrating their readiness for college-level art programs or future careers in the arts.
