Visual Arts
The visual arts program at Brooks is grounded in the importance of process. Students use clay, paint, pencils, found objects, cameras and film to present an idea, story or problem.
Student artists gain visual vocabulary through a study of the elements and principles of art and design, and subsequently learn to express student voice through composition, color theory, skills development and compelling context.
In each of the visual arts classes, students of all levels create original bodies of work, participate in both formal and informal critique sessions, and ready pieces for display both on campus and in the Greater Boston area.
The visual arts curriculum is designed to provide students with the opportunity to expand their art consciousness and to allow gifted students a chance for serious study in the medium of their choice.
Brooks studio art faculty are passionate working artists in their own right, offering an authentic and current understanding of the struggle and joy of creating work.
"We have an incredible artist-in-residence program that allows our students to work one-on-one with professional sculptors, painters and photographers."
2024 Admission Building Installation Project — Thanks to Advanced Studio Art students, the landscape of Brooks today will be viewable forever: They worked with artist Cynthia Houghton from Natalie Blake Studios to create a huge mural, based on our campus map, that was installed in the admission building.
