FEATURE STORY 17 What Art Has Taught Me The range and depth of our arts program allow our students the opportunity to participate in all grades and at all levels. Through participation in a high-quality arts curriculum, SPS students learn about themselves while discovering the world around them. On the Cover Prep junior Maria Merritt '20 works on the final stages of her "Pop Art Portrait" of Wonder Woman. For this large-scale project, students stretch and prime their own canvas, project a famous face onto the surface, and then dramatically shift the portrait from a photographic rendering to a stylized version of the face. The artists then look at typical color choices for "pop art" and practice making vibrant, audacious, fully saturated color palettes.
