Visual Arts

Visual arts communicate about culture, society and history and give purpose to learning; they provide tools for interpreting life's experiences and help students understand the importance and influence of artistic expression.

Younger students are introduced to the foundations of visual arts and a variety of media. As students mature into upper elementary and middle school, emphasis is place on sharpening skills, excellence in outcomes, and focused attention to detail. In high school, students study more complex forms while learning how visual art can communicate spiritual and secular ideas and expressions. At the heart of visual arts, is the enjoyment in creating new pieces, trying new mediums and creative expression. An emphasis is placed on creative problem-solving skills by looking at individual parts as they relate to the piece as a whole. These artistic skills translate to all aspects of life.

Our student artwork is proudly displayed on the walls of the school buildings as well as in Gallery Crawls hosted by the Art Department throughout the year. Students also have the opportunity to display their artistic talents at selected art shows and by working on sets for the annual high school drama production.
