A photograph of a Harpeth Hall student sculpting with clay during Winterim sometime in the 2000s. Per the 2006 Winterim course catalog, Art Independent Study and Seminar was offered that year, which provided "interested juniors and seniors a chance to immerse themselves in art, largely through making art but also through thinking about the human impulse to create and discussing those ideas with fellow students. The program is open to students who wish to pursue a concentration in any of the studio arts (painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture), photography, design, filmmaking, or creative writing. Most of each student's time will be devoted to work in her chosen area, completing a well-planned project with clearly established goals. The seminar component has been added this year to foster a sense of artistic camaraderie and to provide insight into what it means to be an artist."

Harpeth Hall StudentsContext
Harpeth Hall’s Winterim program was created to “provide for students a worthwhile learning experience in an atmosphere significantly different from the traditional classroom” and give “each student the opportunity to explore her own specific field of interest.” The three-week experience takes place every January and allows upper school students the unique opportunity to develop new interests, travel to unfamiliar places, and explore potential careers.
Students in 9th and 10th grades enroll in project-oriented courses on campus presented by school faculty and professionals from around the country, while students in 11th and 12th grades engage in internships, academic travel, international exchanges, or independent study.
Planning occurred in 1972, and the first "Winter Term" was rolled out in 1973. In 1974, a more robust program was developed and did include some travel. This was also the first year of an official Winterim catalog.Collection
