Visual Arts

Art-making in our program builds fluency—helping students understand themselves more deeply while connecting to their community and the wider world.
Students develop skills in the elements and principles of art and design, grounded in global art history and studio practice. Through a hands-on, exploratory approach, they engage their creative process, think critically, build resilience, and discover an authentic expressive voice.

Our Facilities:

The Visual Art Department uses five multimedia art studios for students in PreK-grade 12, a Digital Design Studio for photography, and two additional 3D studios for Ceramics, 3D design classes and Metalsmithing.

Exhibition in the Arts

At Berwick Academy, we value the creative work of our student artists, and student art is exhibited both on and off campus. Our students enjoy several opportunities to share their work and see the work of others; we display student art throughout our buildings and public spaces, as well as the more formal exhibitions in our gallery spaces in the Patricia Baldwin Whipple Arts Center and the Jackson Library Gallery. Students may participate in large shows such as the Annual Student Art Show and the Senior Studio Art Exhibit. Additionally, student work may be selected for the Art around Campus, a rotating exhibition of framed student work which graces our public spaces on campus. Off campus, our students are regularly involved in exhibitions at the Portland Museum of Art (Youth Art Month), Maine College of Art (Scholastics Regional Art Exhibit), the Barn Gallery (Ogunquit, ME), and community collaborative exhibits.
