At Lee-Scott Academy, we believe that the arts are an essential part of developing critical thinking, creativity, problem solving, and empathy. Students use various media including several types of paints, oil pastels, markers, colored pencils, collage papers, printmaking, and clay. Each spring, we celebrate the artistic pursuits of students throughout all grades by displaying student artwork at the Lee-Scott Academy Art Show. The end of the school year culminates with the creation of a student art portfolio as well as a digital art portfolio on Artsonia.com.

About LSA Visual Arts
Lower School
Mrs. Beard teaches K4 – 6th grade students. Through the Alabama Course of Study for Visual Arts, the class learns to describe, analyze, and interpret art styles across many historical periods. Students learn the foundational skills used to create more complex pieces inspired by famous artists and themes. The creativity of the youngest of artists will blow you away!
Upper School
Mrs. Basgier teaches art for 7th – 12th grade students each day. Students are exposed to the arts through history and a large variety of techniques. They learn the fundamentals for drawing, painting, graphic design, photography, and sculpture. The kiln in the art room provides opportunities specifically for the upper school to create with clay and glass.
