P2220427"In the beginning, God created..." 

God is the Master Artist with infinite creativity. Picture for a moment the minute patterns found under a microscope, the colorful world of the ocean, or the expansive view from a mountaintop. The Lord has provided endless inspiration. We hope our students develop a heightened awareness of the beauty around them and a passion for expressing this beauty in artistic forms.

Our Art Program

Lower School

In Kindergarten and first grade, our students learn about the introductory elements of design and explore color and brush techniques.  During their final years in the Lower School, they explore value, line, color theory, and composition. Throughout the Lower School art program, we emphasize delight in our Creator and the basic elements of art.

Middle School

All seventh grade students take a Foundations course, which develops their academic drawing skills. In this course, they learn how to produce well-proportioned drawings with a focus on creating volume using light and shadow shapes. They engage in the process of developing skills that have been handed down through the ages with a focus on classical subject matter like drapery, plaster casts, and still life. 

Upper School

In the final years of high school, the skills, tools, and techniques learned in the earlier grades flourish. In our Upper School program, students gain competency in drawing and painting from direct observation; explore charcoal as a medium; and produce complex still-life drawings and full-color oil paintings.
