Visual Arts

Our Fine Arts Vision

Students will develop their God-given creative abilities as they reflect him by striving for excellence and glorifying God.

Being made in the image of our creative God, students’ creative abilities and talents are a reflection of Him. In the art classes SCS, students grow in their visual literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving as they create visual art as a form of communication and expression. Since art is meant to be celebrated and shared, you will see artwork on display throughout the school hallways. Local art shows and competitions are also a venue to celebrate and acknowledge the achievements of the incredible artists at SCS!
