Dr. Brass Visual Arts Academy offers instruction and exploration in multiple forms of art mediums including, but not limited to acrylic, spray & water colour paint, graphite pencil drawing, coloured pencil, textiles, pastels, floral design, 3-dimensional structures, special effects makeup, digital design, henna, and many more. Through these mediums, students will study themes surrounding pop culture, identity, the importance of place and social issues.

The Visual Arts Academy is based out of the Dr. Brass art room but will also be experienced in various other locations outside of the classroom such as galleries and outdoor learning spaces. Though the majority of our learning will focus on the visual strand of art, students will get the opportunity to spend time at a professional dance studio to learn the dance and drama strands of art from certified professionals.

Visual Arts Academy students will have various opportunities throughout the year to showcase their work and share their talents with their fellow Bears, their family, and the community through art walks and art sales, as well as continuous visual arts displays throughout the halls of Dr. Brass school.

This program is welcoming of all skill levels and abilities, only requiring a curious open mind, a willingness to learn new mediums, and a passion for creating.
