The art program is a means of self-expression and imagination. The curriculum explores the basic essentials of art theory, techniques, and art history. The program incorporates the guidelines of the National Visual Arts Standards into interdisciplinary projects that challenge students, emphasizing the creative growth of each student as a whole person.

Students begin with two-dimensional media and gradually move to three-dimensional work. This concept is applied in kindergarten to eighth grade, with the focus on art elements of texture, line, color, space, value, form, and shapes. Painting techniques and collage reinforces knowledge of textures and compositions, while simple printmaking techniques are introduced as well. Sculpture enables tactile skills in exploring the shaping of art and how it comes to life. All in-class assignments are reinforced by a number of field trips to various museums throughout the area.

2007-2008 highlights:
Several eighth grade students created winning Toulouse-Lautrec designs in the Naval Academy poster competition. These posters were displayed at the Naval Academy Alumni Hall.
