At Concord Academy, the visual arts thrive, imagination knows no bounds, and students explore diverse media with the expert guidance of educators who are practicing artists.
The arts are integral to the CA student experience, infusing creativity into every aspect of learning. The Visual Arts program offers over 30 studio art courses in eight forms of media designed to inspire exploration, risk-taking, and problem-solving by teaching students to see, create, and critique. Each discipline has a progressively challenging curriculum that evolves as the artist develops: from a sketch to a feature-length film, from a coil pot to an architectural model—the possibilities are limitless. Taught in discipline-specific studios in our Math and Arts Center, classes prioritize hands-on art-making with lectures, screenings, discussions, and critiques complemented by art, film, and design history courses while drawing on Boston’s rich collection of museums and galleries.
The art show celebrates the color and creativity of our student artists. View a sample of student work in the photo gallery below.
