As a student of Visual Arts at Loomis, you will find a broad experience across a wide variety of media for every skill level. The Visual Arts Department, located in the Richmond Art Center (RAC) will allow you to pursue your interests in ceramics, painting, photography, printmaking, art history, and various digital media, on state of the art equipment in professional studios. The RAC has wonderful exhibition space, including The Mercy Gallery, for showcasing professional and student works. With a curriculum focused on your individual growth and self-expression, you will learn the fundamentals of technique and design working with our dedicated faculty, who are accomplished artists in their own right, as well as committed professional educators.
“Design Warrior,” a collection of Mulan-inspired shoes created by Ruthie Davis ’80, is on display in the Richmond Art Center and online, and Ruthie spoke with students about her experience as an entrepreneur in the fashion business during a webinar on December 11.
The final projects for five Loomis Chaffee students in the Fall 2 term of Digital Art & Media Design, a visual arts course, are featured in “Package the Intangible,” an online exhibition of their work.
Loomis Chaffee is celebrating students’ visual art and literary talent this fall with the Emerging Artists and Emerging Writers exhibits, featuring the summer explorations of six student artists and 33 student writers.
