Studio Arts

When your son comes over to this side of campus, he will enter a place where he uses his mind differently.

It's the same rigor and the same depth, but it's also a totally different experience. Your son will be invited to play - with paint, with graphite, with clay, with paper - in a way that powerfully complements his experience in the traditional classroom and on the athletic field.

Your son will learn technique from expert instructors. Then, he will draw on his creativity to make his own masterpieces. He will develop work ethic and attention to detail at the easel and on the wheel, and benefit from coaching all the way from conception to completion.

Landon artists swept the painting category at the 10th annual Winter Independent School Juried Exhibition hosted by Stone Ridge School. Everett Mascott ’28, Cole Campbell ’27, Mac Imperatore ’27 earned first, second, and third place, respectively.

I never knew I could accomplish such things, and I would have continued to never know if it had not been for my art teachers, Mr. Sears and Ms. Protsenko. The environment of being able to walk into the studio during a free period and just paint is such a relaxing experience that allows me to open up my creativity.
