Art Department Chair: Jonathan Gemmell

 

The art department continues to build programs and produce works to enhance the environment at Eagle Ridge. In art: our students are active and involved. Art students continue to explore options for outdoor sculptures in the garden. Students work with purpose - exploring, discovering, creating, and learning. Students gain insight about the world and themselves.

New signage was designed throughout the school year to support many areas of the curriculum. Students participate in rotating art exhibits throughout the county and at Eagle Ridge. These include displays at Dulles Town Center, GWU, Shenandoah University and the Loudoun County Administrative Offices.

In celebration of Youth Art Month, the Art Department sponsors a variety of contests and special displays. 
Be sure to stop by for Fine ARTS night here at ERMS in March.
