Visual Arts

Archer's visual arts program is essential to cultivating both intellectual and creative expression.
Student artists in the visual arts program explore a wide range of mediums including painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, fabric arts, printmaking, photography, graphic design, and mixed media. Projects foster creative experimentation and challenge girls to further their own unique vision and style.

  • The Middle School visual art program includes opportunities for designing wearable technology, building computer apps, and creating web sites alongside drawing, painting, and ceramics classes.
  • Upper School student artists can pursue their passions through advanced coursework, and students in 12th grade enrolled in the advanced studies program can curate and present their portfolio in a personal gallery show.
  • Archer students are consistently recognized with Scholastic Art Awards and have won Congressional Art Competition and Young Arts National Award.
