Visual arts encompass a wide range of creative expressions, including drawing, painting, sculpture, and digital media, where students use their imagination to create meaningful works that communicate ideas, emotions, and stories. At Meyer Levin School for the Performing Arts, learning visual arts empowers students to develop technical skills and artistic techniques while fostering creativity and personal expression. Students explore different mediums and styles, gaining confidence in their ability to transform ideas into tangible works of art. This hands-on experience enhances problem-solving, attention to detail, and critical thinking, while also encouraging students to explore their unique voice and perspectives. Through visual arts, students cultivate a deeper appreciation for both the creative process and the world around them.

Ms. K. Maxwell

I love art. I learned how to shade, how to draw people and how to be brave.

Grade 8

I enjoy art class. It’s very entertaining and informative. I learned different skills like sketching, painting, and more. Ms. Maxwell gives us her all every day. She has amazing stories and I learn a lot of life lessons in art class. Whether it is for or outside of Art, I find her inspirational and funny.
