The arts are a vibrant, cherished part of life at the Professional Children’s School, and I am excited to share some of our students’ artwork with you.
PCS currently enrolls 197 students in grades 7-12, from 15 states and 15 countries; our students participate in a slew of professions ranging from dance and music to theater and sports. With this diverse student body comes a breadth of art-making interest and experience, encompassing extreme sophistication to limited exposure, and everything in between. While we are extremely proud to graduate a few students every year who pursue visual art at the college level, a primary goal of our program is to foster a love of art and studio practice, and to raise visual awareness in the general student population, even as we support those for whom art is their passionately pursued profession.
We hope you will enjoy our work.

THE DOT PROJECT
International Dot Day arose in response to the book, "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds, which tell the story of a child who has a tough time getting started in art. This year, in all the classes, we used the dot as a way for students to jumpstart their year, free to express themselves in a range of media with the only stipulation being that they had to use a dot and a background.
