Princeton High School Department Philosophy

Active participation in an arts program is a critical component in every child’s education. Arts programs enrich students’ lives and provide a vehicle for them to communicate and express human emotions and ideas. In addition, the study of the arts prepares students to be successful in a twenty-first-century world that demands innovative thinking and creativity in an increasingly competitive global society.

 

We are a nationally-recognized program, and Princeton High School has been designated a New Jersey Model School in the Arts. Our distinguished faculty members provide sequential instruction in each arts discipline, challenging each student to reach his or her potential.  We are grateful for the tremendous community support for our programs and invite you to attend our many events so that you may experience the incredible and inspiring work of our students.

    

The Arts Department offers a performance-based curriculum in the disciplines of visual art, band, orchestra, choir, drama, and dance. The curriculum is sequential, offering a range of courses from fundamental to advanced. The program includes six bands, three orchestras, five vocal ensembles, four levels of drama classes, a dance class, and a comprehensive two- and three-dimensional studio art program, in addition to offerings in AP Art History and AP Music Theory. Included in all courses is a grounding in cultural and historical contexts, as well as aesthetics. Public performances and art exhibitions are held throughout the year; classroom experiences are enhanced by trips to museums and galleries, as well as regional and international performance tours. Princeton High School features a state-of-the-art performing arts center and its own art gallery, Numina.

About this Project: Etching


Etching is an intaglio printmaking technique made popular in the early 16th century; artists like Dürer, Rembrandt, and Goya used it to reflect on contemporary events and culture important to them at the time. Students in Studio Art III (2D) & Studio Art IV were asked to capture a recent happening, situation, or personal memory and translate it into an etching. Lines were incised into plastic or metal, inked, wiped, and run through a press to create multiple copies. Monochromatic editions are displayed here along with edited versions using mixed media to further allow multiple modes of expression and experimentation.
