SPRING ART SHOW 2023

Welcome from the Visual Arts Teachers

We are the Visual Arts teachers, Mr. Matt Appling and
Mrs. Heather Huettner. Welcome!
​
We are proud to share the highlights of our year of creative work with you. As you tour our Spring Art Show, you will find artworks representing each and every Whitefield artist - from Pre-K to twelfth grade. At Whitefield, we understand that all human creativity is a reflection of our nature as God's image-bearers. Through Visual Arts, students learn about principles of art and aesthetics, practice virtue, and grow in their self-image as creators.

Upper School Visual Arts

Artists in seventh through twelfth grades have a variety of unique opportunities to explore in-depth creative work. Many students returned to the Art room for Drawing & Painting, while other students pushed their creativity through Mixed Media Sculpture, where they were tasked with working with a variety of less-traditional media to create sculptures, mobiles, and even short animations. In this gallery, you'll find fragmented self-portraits, miniature sculpture galleries, animal skulls, vintage neon signs, and much more!
