The Greenhill Visual Arts program is comprised of 2D and 3D Art. Students have the opportunity to learn from some of the finest teachers and artists as they develop and enhance their artistic skills.
 
Preschool and Lower School students attend weekly art classes, learning about art history, the diversity of the art world and the fundamentals of art through experimentation with a wide variety of materials. The program is designed to give students the opportunity to build a visual vocabulary as a means of self-expression while fostering respect for the art of others.
 
In Middle School, students have the opportunity to demonstrate and transfer their knowledge of the elements of art and principles of design in numerous projects. Students are exposed to past and current artwork and are challenge to explore their relationship in history while also expanding their already expansive and impressive artistic foundation.

In addition, artwork from all divisions has been featured in the Dallas Museum of Art's Young Artist Exhibitions.

Digital Art

Students use digital technology as a central core of their personal voice and artistic expression. Inside Greenhill's Filmmaking & Digital Art Lab, students develop their skills from learning the very basics of creating images to developing award-winning digital masterpieces.
