Visual Arts

Visual arts at Northfield include not only painting, drawing and photography, but almost anything that involves beauty and craftsmanship. Our students create art in diverse forms of expression; they draw and paint and shoot photos, but they also quilt, build furniture, paint murals, throw pots—and sew costumes, paint faces, and create backdrops for plays and performances. The artistic works of our students help to generate the warm, distinctive atmosphere that is Northfield School of the Liberal Arts.

“The purpose of art is not to strand us in an alternate world, but to return us to the realm of the ordinary, only with new eyes.”
