Philosophy
Art education is a vital part of our total school curriculum. God has blessed us with a variety of artistic skills that we are to use to the best of our ability. While not all gifts are the same, students should appreciate what God has given to them. Students are given the opportunity to learn and celebrate their artistic gifts through a variety of experiences using different media. These activities provide the student the opportunity to use what God has given them to grow creatively as an individual.
