The Roeper Visual Arts Department at the Middle and Upper School level has established itself as an open, creative environment where students in Grades 6 – 12 have opportunities to observe closely, create, and explore options on a personal and social level. Understanding motivations and influences of professional artists is another key aspect of visual arts studies at Roeper.

Courses in traditional disciplines such as Drawing, Painting, and Ceramics are offered alongside less traditional electives in Conceptual Art, Fibers, and Life Drawing. Students’ ever-evolving abilities to contribute creative solutions, collaborate with their peers, and assess their own efforts are a critical part of the program’s goals..
