Visual Arts
Visual Arts education is an essential part of the basic educational preparation of all Park Tudor students. Artistic discipline allows students the opportunity to explore, express and create. The Visual Arts faculty strives to help students understand and create visual art beyond the formal education setting.
The Visual Arts program recognizes the unique needs, interests and abilities of students at all levels of growth. Art is not only an important part of the formal curriculum, but it is also an important tool in the development of a student's sense of identity.
Art classes are offered for grades 1-6 as part of the curriculum. Students in grades 7 and 8 may take a year-long elective art class. Upper School electives are available to students who are interested in refining their abilities and learning more about art.
Art Opportunities
Artwork by students in all grades is displayed on campus and around the city. Student work is frequently entered in local and regional contests, such as Symphony in Color, Scholastic Art Awards of Central Indiana and Project Excel. Students are encouraged to participate in small-group lessons after school, classes at the Indianapolis Art Center and Herron School of Art and Design, and summer art programs throughout the U.S. and Europe. Upper School students are given personal guidance with their portfolios throughout the college admissions process.
