The Arts

"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."

~ Aristotle

"Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in."

~ Amy Lowell

Princeton Science Academy requires all students to take four years of art class and participate in Princeton Latin Academy’s annual opera. In a society that has designated ugliness and profanity as the only legitimate forms of expression, this high school opens the student's eyes to beauty and sacredness. Such experiences include trips to art museums and national memorials, participation in Halloween skits and Saturnalia celebrations, and attendance of art-history classes. Along with rhetoric, art is another way for the student to express himself by molding with his hands his thoughts and feelings in various art forms and media. These works are displayed every year at the school's annual art show and in the Folia Viridia, the school’s literary and art magazine.
