Visual Arts

Expression and creativity combined with technique and process is what we teach in our art classroom. No matter what age your student is or what their artistic abilities may be, our art studio is equipped with love, fun, method and mastery.

Aspen Academy’s Visual Arts program focuses on opportunities for all students to tune their creative voices while sharpening their artistic skills. Students are encouraged to be innovative, curious, flexible and problem solvers through their work. Each art project offers opportunities for students to make authentic connections to art, self, and the world around them.

The visual arts program partners with teachers across the school community to develop project based learning opportunities. Our projects develop an authentic extension of the classroom environment and reflect curriculum benchmarks and goals. In the lower school we meet with classroom teachers to discuss highlights of the curriculum, to help to influence year long explorations of core concepts, and shape individual projects done in the art room. The middle school art curriculum is heavily influenced by current topics, as well as state standards, to prepare students for further visual art explorations in high school.

Aspen has been able to broaden its arts offerings to include both 2-D and 3-D studio based classes as well as STEAM integration classes. As well as Digital Art, where students develop or sharpen their skills in Adobe Cloud software while also discovering new avenues of self-expression.
