Visual Arts
Where color and form are cultivated and young artists hone their creative craft.
Art Education that Inspires
At CHCA, visual art is more than a class. It invites students to explore ideas, reflect on their experiences, and express their identity.
Each stage of our program refines skill and builds confidence, helping artists grow as creative thinkers. Our educators are practicing and professional artists who encourage learners to hone their craft and discover how to express their ideas visually.
Early Learning
Young artists explore color, shape, and storytelling through hands-on projects that build fine motor skills and creative confidence. Art is integrated into daily curriculum, encouraging curiosity and discovery.
Lower School
Lower School artists develop technique and begin to understand art as a powerful form of communication. In studying different mediums and artists, students gain both confidence and joy in their creations.
Armleder
At Armleder Campus, visual arts are a joyful, hands-on way for students to develop imagination and self-expression. With projects rooted in both fine art technique and cultural relevance, students gain appreciation for creativity in their own lives and the world around them.
Upper School
Upper School students dive deep into media, concept development, and personal style. Through studio classes and advanced electives, artists refine their style while building a strong portfolio.
Each year, the culminating AP Gallery spotlights work from our most advanced artists. Held in a professional exhibit space, the show invites the CHCA community to engage with these students’ creativity, vision, and personal voice.
