The Visual Arts Program
Instructed by Ms. Lauren Templeton, the visual arts program at Lake Forest offers students instruction in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, computer imaging, and combined media. Students explore art from ancient times to the present day covering different types of art from around the world.
The overall focus of the program is to inspire creativity and inventiveness in students. Class discussions and projects are supplemented by visits to area museums including the Cummer Museum and Gardens and the Jacksonville Museum of Contemporary Art. Students enjoy opportunities throughout the year to exhibit their art at school and out in the community.
Fourth and fifth grade students may audition for the Magnet art class. These advanced classes require a deep commitment from the student. During the year, these students benefit from trips to Douglas Anderson High School of the Arts and La Villa Middle School of the Arts.
