Visual Arts

Kindergarten through fifth grade students have Art class each week with Ms. June Pettway, our Art Education Specialist. The curriculum is based on the SRA series, Art Connections. The program integrates the four dimensions of Art into every age-appropriate lesson: art history and culture, aesthetic perception, art production and art criticism. Students encounter a broad range of art media for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional self-expression. 

 

Mrs. Susan Reilly (Middle School) and Mrs. Libby Geiselmayr (Upper School) lead Pisgah’s outstanding visual arts program.

 

General classes are available in Middle School, with additional opportunities for students who have a passion in this area. Upper School training occurs in all the various media, including a comprehensive AP course for highly advanced and motivated students. There are a number of gallery-like experiences during the year, and it culminates with the National Art Honor Society Exhibit – an evening event that is one of the highlights of the school year at Pisgah.
