Studio Art at Menlo

The Art Studio Program at Menlo strives to have each student identify their own passions for specific media in the Visual Arts:

Students painting

 
  • Expressive or Representational Drawing
  • Figure Drawing with professional art models
  • Portraiture
  • Painting
  • Printmaking
  • Sculpture
  • Ceramics
  • Collage

Student AP Art Portfolios are highly individual. The studio emphasizes process over product and students are encouraged to understand their own mode of perception of the world around them. All Studio Art courses comply with the UC Standards. Students take field trips to museums, galleries and artist studios, and guest artists visit every year.
