    The Fine Arts Department at SCS seeks to DEFINE, REFINE, and SOLIDIFY creativity, critical thinking, artistic skills, and the importance of Christ when building our foundation. We instill in our students the importance of the arts as a medium of communication and expression that reinforces our commitment to praising and honoring the Lord in everything that we do.

    Elementary

    Students are immersed in the seven elements of art: line, shape, color, space, value, form and texture. Lower school students are in the DEFINE stage where they begin to understand art concepts and vocabulary while using an array of art media and materials. Throughout the year, art styles, genres, artists (past and present) and art history will be introduced in all classes.
