Arts

Creativity is in Our nature

Mountain Academy’s Art Program provides students across all divisions with the opportunity to investigate, innovate, and interpret the nature of place.

Beginning in our Early Childhood Program, students explore new avenues for creative expression that grow more complex each year. Mountain Academy takes pride in our community of creators, and we encourage our students to follow their creative passions without boundaries and expand their artistic abilities into the newest dimensions.

Student Art in Our Community

Community Bee Project

“The Hive” was a collaboration using science and math to explore the questions: What can we learn from the bee community? And: How do we measure, calculate, and simplify the perimeter and area of a hexagon? A variety of Middle and Upper School students used charcoal to best depict the various textures of honeybees in black and white.

This piece was installed in the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming.

Wilson Bridge Mural

Mountain Academy 9th- and 10th-graders worked with the Snake River Fund in 2018 to paint the Wilson Bridge piers.

You can still find this piece under the Wilson Bridge in Wilson, Wyoming.

Cow in Motion

Wyoming’s American Institute of Architects chapter painted this mural, with additional help from Mountain Academy art students. Spanning the length of the underpass, Upper School students added whimsical, colorful graphics to the monochrome stencil.

The mural is located near the Jackson Campus entrance off Wyoming Highway 22.
