Visual Arts

Our visual arts program empowers girls to take risks.

From the ceramics studio to the photography dark room, we know that with every new material and big idea comes another exciting opportunity for students to experiment and bring their vision to life. Visual arts at Westridge is hands-on and interdisciplinary, teaching students to look for the connections between art and the world around them.
