THAT WHICH DEFINES BEAUTY IS
INTENSELY PERSONAL AND EVER
CHANGING; THAT THE HUMAN SOUL
LONGS FOR IT IS UNDENIABLE. THE
NEED TO EXPERIENCE AND CREATE
RESIDES IN THE HUMAN SPIRIT. IT IS
OUR JOB AT EPISCOPAL HIGH SCHOOL
TO HONOR THAT FUNDAMENTAL
DESIRE BY UNCOVERING IT IN SOME
AND NOURISHING IT IN ALL.
The Arts Department at Episcopal High School instills in students a lifelong commitment to the creative arts and the world of imagination.
Through a common core of arts in the curriculum, extracurricular opportunities for developing individual talents, and consistent exposure to the rich cultural resources of the nation’s capital, students work toward a comprehensive understanding of and appreciation for all of the arts and develop the ability to communicate proficiently in at least one art form. Students who wish to focus their talents and energies toward serious training in the arts over four years are able to prepare for an arts major or studies at the college level. Knowledge and understanding of the arts through active participation and experience are vital to the development of students’ minds and values – inseparable from the rest of an Episcopal education.
Discover the Arts
Fostering Creativity: The Ainslie Arts Center
The Ainslie Arts Center integrates the innate human longing for self expression with the most current technological expectations of a 21st-century arts center.
Students have opportunities to learn about and manipulate state-of-the-art lighting, sound, and projection systems for student performances and for professional productions of visiting artists. Those interested in recording techniques have unique opportunities to work in a professional, multi-track recording studio. Additionally, the musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) lab and class piano studio support theory and music classes. Some features of the Ainslie Arts Center include:
• Breeden Theater, a 100-seat black box theater with full-story catwalk
• Conley Ceramics Studio with gas and electric kilns
• Dance studio with a sprung wood floor and full-length mirrors
• Digital photography studio with advanced equipment for scanning and printing
• Baker Family Darkroom with 10 enlargers
• Fully outfitted dressing rooms
• Instrument practice rooms designed for acoustical integrity
• Allen Studio, a MIDI lab and 24-channel digital recording studio
• Large ensemble rehearsal spaces
• Bill Peelle ’66 Painting Studio and Shirley Olsson Drawing Studio
• Coxe Piano Studio with twin baby grand pianos
• The Angie Newman Johnson and Class of 2002 galleries, showcasing professional and student artwork
• Scene and costume shops
• Pendleton Hall, a state-of-the-art auditorium with 540 seats
As the only 100-percent-residential boarding school near a metropolitan area, Episcopal is able to bring the arts to life by frequently taking students into the nation’s capital to explore its cultural resources, as well as inviting many talented performers and artists to campus.
In the words of Arts Chair Doug Kehlenbrink, “It’s hard to imagine a more perfect environment for living and learning the arts than Episcopal and the Washington, D.C., area.”
Most 9th grade students take Introduction to the Arts, an interdisciplinary approach to the fine arts that teaches both the basic knowledge and perceptual skills vital to developing a lifelong appreciation for each of the fine arts disciplines. Those 9th graders with significant arts experience may enroll in either orchestra, choir, theater, or dance. Students learn to value the human heritage of the arts reflected in its many social and historical contexts.

Instrumental Music “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings
to the mind, and life to everything.”
– PLATO
Whether giving wings to a new musical interest or furthering their repertoire of musical skills, instrumental musicians have many opportunities to share their talents and passions with the EHS community. Classically trained cellists, jazz-inspired drummers, rock guitarists, and bluegrass fiddlers all find a home in which to study, explore, and perform. Students have numerous opportunities to work with professional instrumentalists in master-class settings, as well as to pursue private study on the instrument of their choice. There is rarely a moment without music on the EHS campus.
OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE:
• Full orchestra for strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion
• Jazz band
• Student-run “garage bands”
• Private study on all instruments
• Guitar class
• Recording and songwriting classes
• Study of American popular music
• On-campus coffee houses and open-mic concerts, as well as opportunities to perform in chapel and community meetings
• Extracurricular options
• Vsiting professional musicians from all genres
• Attendance at performances at the Kennedy Center, Wolf Trap, Birchmere, Blues Alley, and the 9:30 Club, among many others
The residency of the Washington Metropolitan Youth Orchestra affords serious musicians the opportunity to audition for the group and, if selected, to rehearse with the ensemble on a weekly basis on campus in the Ainslie Arts Center. These rehearsals culminate in four concerts per year in Pendleton Hall. In addition, the National Chamber Players, made up of players from the National Symphony Orchestra, also work with students to improve their playing. Through firsthand experiences with professional musicians and attendance at numerous concerts by those same artists, students gain unique insights into the real world of professional orchestras.
Episcopal’s extensive recording and popular music program gives students from all musical backgrounds a chance to study their favorite genres of music. EHS students have written songs; scored films; produced records; remixed songs from popular bands, such as Radiohead; and organized campus-wide concerts. The curriculum is based on three key points: analysis of popular works and the process that goes into creating them; hands-on experience in the state-of-the-art digital recording studio and extensive lab spaces; and careful study of the theory and science behind creating, documenting, and distributing music. Arts classes in recording technology, songwriting, guitar, popular music history, music business, and music theory are taught by faculty members with ample practical experience in their field.

“TO ME, THE ESSENCE OF THE ARTS PROGRAM
AT EHS LIES IN ITS APPROACHABILITY. VIOLIN
ALWAYS HAD BEEN THE ONE CONNECTION I HAD
WITH MUSIC, BUT THANKS TO EPISCOPAL I HAVE
ALSO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOPED MY PASSION FOR
SINGING. IN MY JUNIOR YEAR I TRIED OUT FOR
CHAMBER CHOIR WITH NO PRIOR VOCAL TRAINING
EXPERIENCE, AND I WAS NOT ONLY ACCEPTED, BUT
WAS THEN ENCOURAGED TO JOIN EPISCAPELLAS THE
FOLLOWING YEAR. CURRENTLY MUSIC IS STILL VERY
MUCH A PART OF MY LIFE AS I AM AN ACTIVE MEMBER
OF THE SCHOOL ORCHESTRA AND THE CONCERT
COORDINATOR OF THE STUDENT-RUN A CAPPELLA
GROUP AT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS.”
– CHRISTINE BYUN ’09
Theater“You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you will discover will
be wonderful. What you will discover is yourself.”
– ALAN ALDA

“THE THREE THINGS THAT I’M ALWAYS USING IN
THEATER AT EPISCOPAL ARE MY BRAIN, MY HANDS,
AND MY HEART. I CAME HERE KNOWING THAT
I LOVE TO PERFORM, BUT SINCE JOINING EHS
THEATER I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO USE POWER
TOOLS, DECODE SHAKESPEARE, RUN THE LIGHT
BOARD, FIX COSTUMES, MOVE GIANT PUPPETS,
AND SO MUCH MORE. WORKING ON BOTH SIDES
OF THE CURTAIN MAKES THE WHOLE PROCESS OF
BRINGING THE PLAY TO LIFE THAT MUCH MORE
MEANINGFUL. IT’S THE KIND OF EXPERIENCE THAT
NOT EVERY SCHOOL OFFERS, AND I LOVE IT.”

From the first steps in Introduction to Dance to the choreography of a complete piece for a senior dance recital, students earn credits in either arts or athletics or simply enjoy themselves while participating in a diverse collection of evening classes.
Episcopal’s dance program offers students training in a variety of movement styles. Professional dancers from Dana Tai Soon Burgess & Company, the leading modern dance company in the Washington, D.C., region, teach classes designed to enhance each student’s understanding of movement and to expose students to diverse dance genres. Students will have performance opportunities on and off campus, including dance projects choreographed by students, faculty, and guest artists. All levels of dancers, from beginning to advanced, are encouraged to participate. The Introduction to Dance class requires no movement experience, and afternoon options allow experienced students to sample different styles.
OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE:
• Introduction to Dance (offered during the class day)
• Earning arts or athletics credit
• Year-round dance classes
• Rotated offerings in ballet, hip-hop, modern, and jazz
• Guest artists who teach various ethnic dance forms
• Pilates and yoga
• Attendance at professional performances by companies such as The Washington Ballet, Alvin Ailey, Kirov, CityDance, Jane Franklin Dance, and Dana Tai Soon Burgess & Company (in residence at Episcopal)
“HIGH SCHOOL IS THE TIME IN A YOUNG ADULT’S LIFE WHEN
THEY RECEIVE A WELL-ROUNDED, ALL-ENCOMPASSING
EDUCATION SO THAT THEY MAY GRADUATE HAVING TASTED
A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING AND MAY THEN BETTER
DECIDE WHERE THEY WANT TO GO NEXT IN LIFE. MY
INVOLVEMENT IN THE ARTS AT EHS HELPED ME DECIDE TO
PURSUE CREATIVE OUTLETS IN MY COLLEGE EXPERIENCE.”

The tactile medium of ceramics provides students with the opportunity to create three-dimensional form through their own artistic expression. In the ceramics studio, students work with wheel-throwing techniques, traditional sculpting methods, and other hand-building processes. They learn about the management of clay from the raw state, to the fired state, to the glazed end product, and they have the opportunity to use conventional or alternative firing methods to heighten the expressive nature of their work. Beginning students can try a semester-long Ceramics 1 class, while more advanced artists can pursue in-depth development of pottery and sculpture in the yearlong Advanced 3-D class. The clay studio is alive with all levels of students who work together and exchange ideas in a vibrant social environment. The ceramics room works much like a visual arts laboratory, where risk-taking and moving a lot of clay is part of the daily energy of the studio. Students and teachers work together in this vibrant atmosphere, where a dialogue between the teachers and students is encouraged.
OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE:
• Exhibingt work in traditional and installation settings
• Create wheel-thrown pottery and sculpture
• Build sculpture with slab--s, coils, and one of 10 Brent pottery wheels
• Glaze application for low and hi-fire firings
• Equipment also includes: clay mixer and pug mill, test kiln, Bailey hi-fire gas kiln, Skutt hi-fire electric kiln
• Advanced Placement Studio Art – 3D
• Extracurricular options
“I BELIEVE EVERY ONE OF US IS AN ARTIST, YET IT TAKES AN
EXTRAORDINARY MENTOR TO REALLY NURTURE CREATIVITY.
THE FACULTY OF EPISCOPAL HIGH SCHOOL ARE EXPERTS IN THIS.
DURING MY TIME AT EHS, THESE INCREDIBLE PROFESSIONALS
INSPIRED ME TO EXPLORE THE WORLD AROUND ME IN
FANTASTIC WAYS, WHETHER IT WAS ACTING, SINGING, OR
PAINTING. SINCE GRADUATING FROM EPISCOPAL, I CONTINUE
TO SEE AND UTILIZE ART IN MY DAILY LIFE. AS A TEACHER, I
CAN ATTEST TO THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ARTS IN A STUDENT’S
LIFE. I TRY TO INFUSE ART INTO ALL ASPECTS OF MY STUDENTS’
CURRICULUM. PICASSO ONCE SAID ‘EVERY CHILD IS AN ARTIST.
THE PROBLEM IS HOW TO REMAIN AN ARTIST ONCE WE GROW
UP.’ THIS SENTIMENT IS ONE OF THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE
ARTS PROGRAM AT EPISCOPAL. EHS GIVES ALL OF ITS STUDENTS
THE CHANCE TO BE THEIR PERSONAL BEST IN THE ARTS AND
TO REMAIN TRUE TO THEMSELVES ON CAMPUS AND BEYOND.”

Through photography, students see their world as if for the first time; images through the lens cut away the unnecessary and boil down meaning to only the essential. Students first learn the origins of photography and the camera obscura through theory and practice. With the firm understanding of camera operations and darkroom techniques, these budding young photographers are able to create and capture pictures that are uniquely their own, ultimately telling us who they are.
Episcopal’s photography program blends traditional darkroom teaching with the ever-evolving digital imagery platform. Whether taking Photo 1 or working toward an Advanced Portfolio, students have the opportunity to use a variety of cameras, processes, and software.
OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE:
• 35-mm and digital SLR camera work
• Film developing and darkroom printing
• Digital photography with Adobe software
• Independent study
• Extracurricular options
• Advanced Studio Art – 2-D

“AT EPISCOPAL, THE ARTS ARE A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE
CURRICULUM. I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THE BEST WAY
TO LEARN IS TO SURROUND ONESELF WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE
MORE EXPERIENCE. FORTUNATELY FOR THE STUDENTS AT
EPISCOPAL, WHEN THEY ENTER THE FINE ARTS BUILDING THEY
ARE ENTERING WORKING STUDIOS. ALL OF THE ARTS FACULTY
ARE PRACTICING ARTISTS WHO ARE AS PASSIONATE ABOUT THE
WORK THAT THEY CREATE AS THEY ARE ABOUT SHARING THEIR
INSIGHTS WITH STUDENTS. THIS IS VITAL TO ESTABLISHING
AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE CREATIVITY IS CONTAGIOUS AND
CRAFT CAN BE PASSED ALONG IN A MEANINGFUL FASHION.
WITH THE GROWTH IN THE ARTS PROGRAM, THE SCHOOL HAS
EMPHASIZED THE CREATION AND PRODUCTION OF ARTS ON
CAMPUS. THERE IS LITTLE DEBATE THAT WE LIVE IN A SCREEN-
DOMINATED WORLD. FROM PHONES TO LAPTOPS TO LCDS AND
MOVING-IMAGE BILLBOARDS, VISUAL CULTURE IS HERE TO STAY.
I THINK THAT THE FACULTY AT EPISCOPAL DO A GREAT JOB
PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH THE TOOLS TO ACTIVELY EXPLORE
AND CREATE IN THIS RAPIDLY EVOLVING VISUAL WORLD.”
— WILL MEBANE ’91
Drawing and Painting “Art is an adventure into an unknown world,
which can only be explored by those willing
to take the risks.”–MARK ROTHKO

Rendering is the most fundamental and often the most critical activity of the visual artist. Historically, artists have used drawing techniques to describe with delicacy and accuracy anything from the highly representational to the utmost abstract. Episcopal’s drawing courses focus on the discipline and applied skills needed for rendering from life.
The painting courses concentrate on using the medium to bring color, volume, and scale to a two-dimensional composition. Students move through either area of study, or both, developing basic skills that lead them toward the freedom to create their own works.
OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE:
• Graphite, charcoal, chalk, and pastels
• Acrylics, watercolors, oil bars, and mixed-media
• Printmaking
• Light and shade, line quality, rendering of form, and illustration of depth
• Elements of design
• Extracurricular options
• Advanced Studio Art – 2-D
“WHEN WE TEACH POETRY IN ENGLISH CLASSES, WE ARE NOT
NECESSARILY TEACHING OUR STUDENTS TO BE POETS. WE ARE
TEACHING THEM ABOUT THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND HOW
IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONVEY COMPLEX THOUGHTS USING ALL
OF THE BUILDING BLOCKS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM
THROUGH WRITING. IN THE SAME WAY, ART EDUCATION IS
NOT JUST VALUABLE TO ASPIRING ARTISTS. IT TEACHES VISUAL
LITERACY THAT IS VALUABLE TO EVERYONE. ART EDUCATION
ENRICHES OUR LIVES BY MAKING US AWARE OF THE BEAUTY OF
THE WORLD, AND IT ENABLES US TO EXPRESS OUR THOUGHTS
AND FEELINGS THROUGH VISUAL MEDIA. THE FUNDAMENTAL
PRINCIPLES OF DRAWING, PAINTING, AND SCULPTURE
ARE ESSENTIAL BUILDING BLOCKS IN PHOTOGRAPHY,
ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING, FILM, THEATER, COMPUTER
GRAPHICS, AND SO MUCH MORE. THE ‘ART’ THAT WE SEE IN
MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES IS THE MOST CONCENTRATED
FORM OF VISUAL ART. THEREFORE IT IS THE MOST USEFUL TO
STUDY IN ORDER TO LEARN THE BASIC VOCABULARY OF ART.
BUT THAT VOCABULARY APPLIES TO EVERYTHING WE MAKE.”
