The intent of the art curriculum is to foster an appreciation for the arts, both performing and graphic, making a distinction between arts and crafts. Students will learn to recognize famous works of art and the artists who painted them. Likewise, they will learn to recognize various trends in art and architecture: e.g. Baroque, Gothic, Romanesque, Pointillism, Impressionism, Cubism, etc. Students will have the opportunity to work with the components of art (e.g. shape, form, color, layout, perspective) and to get experience in numerous media such as ceramics, ecclesiastical embroidery, water color, acrylics, ceramics, linoleum block, silk-screening and the like.
