PMA’s visual arts program gives students the opportunity to experience and create art in a variety of styles and mediums, both traditional and contemporary, as well as learn the fundamental theory behind color, light, shadow, line, perspective, form, shape, design, and more.
Our student artists use creativity, expand their knowledge of artistic techniques, study the work of the Masters, gain confidence, and have the opportunity to find their own artistic voice. We respect and encourage their freedom of artistic expression and value the validity of all artistic output.
