Our studios are of a professional level, similar to those in community spaces for adults. We enjoy sharing these incredible spaces as an artistic community.
NCS has electric and kick wheels and kilns for ceramics, a large black-and-white photography darkroom, and a digital-art lab with many workstations.
We operate in both hands-on and digital media. Our photo program is part digital and utilizes computers, and we also incorporate technology in ways such as drawing by using iPads in Middle School and Upper School. The Upper School studio additionally has three 3-D printers, and we have a laser cutter.
We use our beautiful and expansive art studios as a classroom and a gallery for our annual Art Show. NCS young artists pursue a variety of visual art passions through course offerings such as art history, drawing, painting, ceramics, and traditional and digital photography.
Through our Visual Arts Program, you will express your most creative and imaginative self. You will develop problem-solving skills, collaboration strengths, and the ability to envision scenarios from varying perspectives. Through guided play and experiment, your confidence and artistic ability will grow. You can see what you like and try various activities.
Using a different part of your brain in the arts studio, guided by thoughtful and talented teachers, and finding creative ways to achieve a goal, you will complement your academic studies and bring in new perspectives to your daily life. No matter whether you are in Lower, Middle, or Upper School, we will help you discover an area of creative pursuit that you enjoy.
