Art

All students participate in the Visual Arts program which offers hands-on art projects, instruction in art appreciation and history, museum and gallery experiences, religious art exposure and opportunities for students to display their artwork in the community.

Students in grades Six, Seven and Eight are taught weekly by the school’s art teacher in the art classroom.  The lessons include looking at art, creating art, researching art’s historical and cultural context and responding to judgments about art.

Students in grades Six through Eight are able to choose a class specializing in Drawing as their elective.  This course is taught by the school’s art teacher.

The Kindergarten through Fifth grade Visual Arts program consists of parent docent volunteers working closely with the Art Teacher to prepare art lessons tied to classroom curriculum.  These classes are meant to be supplemental and occur on a monthly basis.
