Visual Arts

As part of the arts curriculum, students learn the 8 Studio Habits of the Mind: engage and persist, develop craft, revision, express, observe, understand art worlds, stretch and explore, and reflect. This curriculum also has strong connections with STEM disciplines and the concept of experiment. Students from PreK through high school gain confidence and creativity while learning to worship God through their work. Our visual arts curriculum begins in preschool as students explore fine motor skills and progresses in stages, teaching them purpose and problem solving as they develop their artistic voice. Students say the program helps them release stress, express themselves, experiment, be creative, and find acceptance and support.

The Digital Art curriculum allows high school students to explore the ways that their God-given artistic abilities intersect with technology. Classes help students to explore new creative avenues and guide their future endeavors. Students might design publications to market a show, learn new Adobe software, refine their photography skills, or assemble the school’s yearbook. With each challenge, students gain confidence, improve their skills, gain practical experience and collaborate with others—setting them up for success in their careers.
