Immersive Programs: Visual Art Immersive Programs are a cornerstone of each girl’s education at Grier. Regardless of the area of focus, students share a sense of commitment, understand the value of their hard work, appreciate the talents of their peers, and stretch themselves to ever higher levels of achievement—all while doing something they love. No previous experience is required to dive in on day one. Whether a student characterizes her skills as “This is my life” or “I’ve always wanted to try that,” she will find just the right launching place for her personal adventure.
Tapping into Every Student’s Creativity Art is not just for self-identified “artists” at Grier. The Visual Art Department teachers (many of whom are practicing artists) recognize the vast creative potential in every student. Regardless of each girl’s level of experience and future goals, Grier teachers know just how to guide the study of both theory and technique that go into making and appreciating art. An intentional blend of practice, observation, and independent discovery make immersion in the visual arts at Grier a vibrant journey of self-expression.
