CULTIVATING CREATIVITY AND EXPRESSION

Arts

We believe in providing a well-rounded education that goes beyond the traditional curriculum. Our robust arts program offers a range of opportunities for students to explore their creativity, develop essential skills, and showcase their talents. Discover the artistic journey our students embark on at HPFS.

Visual Arts Program

Our visual arts program is led by Jessica Beaumont, a SCAD Graduate and professional artist. Students in grades K-8th enjoy visual arts classes twice a week, while our youngest students engage in art regularly as part of their early school education.

Building a Solid Foundation

Our visual arts curriculum focuses on fundamental principles such as shape, color, composition, and technique. Students develop their drawing skills and delve into the fundamentals of design. They work with various materials, including pencil, colored pencil, paint, clay, plaster, recycled materials, and digital mediums.

Annual Artapalooza

Each spring, we host "Artapalooza," an exhibition showcasing student artwork for parents and community members to enjoy. Experience the creativity and talent of our students through our past Artapalooza projects.
