Visual Arts
Context and intention are keywords as our art students solve problems, build skills, gain confidence and learn the history of the various media they study in Emma Willard School's visual arts program.
From sight-specific installations around campus to collaborations with the science department, we seek to expand students' understanding of both the function and meaning of art. They are challenged to experience their world in a fresh way, to open their eyes and really see.

Last night we celebrated the launch of Triangle, Emma Willard School’s literary and art magazine. The issue compiles works from the community into an annual magazine, and has historically been one of the first publications to feature many of Emma’s writers and artists as they embark on a lifetime of creation. After contributors spoke about and shared their work, those gathered were treated to a reading from D. Colin and a poetry workshop following the event! Click Read More for more photos.
