Arts & Culture

Giving boys and girls the power to express their ideas, opinions and personality is a life-changing experience. While it happens daily in classrooms throughout The Kiski School, it takes on beautiful, astounding, and brilliant forms in our various arts programs. Here, students have the opportunity to discover new talents and hone existing ones through visual arts, drama, and music programs.

 

Kiski takes the best of traditional art techniques and combines it with cutting edge technology to produce an exciting visual art and industrial arts program. Students are introduced to the Adobe design tools and are able to make these come to life through the use of laser cutters, 3D printers, and vinyl cutters. Creative problem solving is central to the studio art program at Kiski, and is achieved through the use of traditional and contemporary techniques. Our art department offers courses which cover two and three-dimensional media, and aims to help every artist find their style, medium, and passion for art. No matter the topic, our department seeks to help students become better problem solvers and more innovative thinkers. Some of the projects our student have worked on include:

Students interested in acting can take part in our drama program, which produces two major performances each year. Our music program provides a wealth of opportunities, by introducing our students to a variety of musical styles, ensembles, and instruments. Every spring, the Fine and Performing Arts department organizes An Evening with the Arts, the annual highlight of The Kiski School arts program. This special event is a cooperative production between the Glee Club and the Kiski Players.
