Welcome to the Auk Artist exhibition!

This virtual exhibition features artwork from both Introductory and Advanced Fine Art and Design studio courses offered at Archmere Academy. This student work demonstrates skills in a multitude of mediums with incredible ranges of creative thought. The members of the Art Department Faculty are proud to present to viewers the talents and creativity of our student artists. 

Introduction to Drawing and Design

 Students explore various drawing and design techniques, using a variety of traditional materials.Through studio/sketchbook production, students explore the elements and principles of all accomplished 2-D and 3-D work, including color theory, abstraction, composition, etc.

Ceramic Sculpture

Students explore several techniques in creating three-dimensional art forms, including slab, coil, and casting methods of construction.  In addition, students are encouraged to explore the endless possibilities of surface considerations in clay, including inlay, glazing, texture, and more.

Darkroom and Digital Photography

Students learn the complete workings of a camera and study a variety of film, digital, and shooting processes. Work reflects an understanding of design principles as well as an understanding of photographic processes and techniques. Students present original images and portfolios.

"Art classes at Archmere have taught me to test my limits and grow in perspective. I have learned how to express myself through art and in other ways, and I am so grateful for the teachers that taught me how to do so."​
