COMMUNITY GALLERY

During the month of August, the Community Gallery at Red River Theatres will feature Artwork by selected students from New Hampton School's Intermediate/Advanced Portfolio Studio Art class.

The Visual and Performing Arts Department at New Hampton School, in New Hampton, NH (30 miles north of Concord) offers students opportunities for self-awareness, self expression, self exploration, and artistic growth in a safe environment that promotes both skill development and personal character. Students explore, discover, and develop their innate artistic abilities while gaining an enhanced understanding of the interrelatedness of the world around them. The arts do not stand alone, but are an aspect and expression of the core values of any culture or discipline. While studying the arts at New Hampton School, students augment their understanding of all the other academic disciplines they are studying.

Visual Arts students experience significant self-exploration through our photography, graphic design, and multi-leveled studio art of- ferings. Students learn the universal elements and principles of visual expression, develop technical and conceptual skills, and gain confidence through strategically structured assignments. All courses reflect a discipline-based art education involving critique, pro- duction, art history, and aesthetics.

In the Performing Arts, our wide range of classes and co-curricular activities in dance, theatre, technical stagecraft, music, and record- ing provide students with a solid foundation of basic skills. This foundation provides students with the discipline to become confident performing artists with their own unique voice.

Students wishing to continue their arts education at the college level gain the necessary solid foundation as well as the knowledge and understanding of advanced skills in their chosen area.
