Welcome to the Visual Arts of
Lake Forest is proud of its excellent visual arts program where students get hands-on experience in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional art. The class is focused on teaching the skills and techniques needed to create both realistic and expressive art. Every student has art once every two weeks. Students should come dressed appropriately. Check with your child’s teacher for dates and times.
4th and 5th grade students may audition to participate in the Art magnet class. During magnet class the students focus on enhancing their abilities in drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics and sculpture through traditional methods. We also focus on experimental art methods to enhance the creative process. Students create large-scale sculptures, mosaics and paintings, all of which get permanent placement throughout the school. Throughout the year there are several field trips to Douglas Anderson High School of the Arts, LaVilla Middle School of the Arts, Jacksonville Museum of Contemporary Art, and many others.
Lake Forest art students participate in a variety of extraordinary activities throughout the year. Among them are Pinwheels for Peace, Empty Bowls, Art to Remember, and more. Stay tuned to our website for exciting details about these projects, and for snapshots of student work. Lake Forest is the up-and-coming art gallery of Jacksonville’s youth, and we are eager to showcase our artists!
