Art

We love Art at FCS! In our Art classes, we learn that the power and ability to create comes from God, our Creator. He has given each of us a portion of this creative ability, and we strive to cultivate this within each of our students.

We get to explore the world of art through the Meet the Masters curriculum, where students “meet” different master artists through multimedia presentations, learning packets, and hands on experience. We learn about art history, study the lives and times of master artists, and discuss what we’ve learned, all from a Christian perspective. Art elements and techniques are the focus of our learning packets and practice time. We create one of a kind artworks with the techniques we’ve learned, which are all kept in each student’s own portfolio.

We participate in several art shows every year, where students are given the opportunity to earn ribbons, awards, and cash prizes for their art. It’s exciting for our students to show their art!  As our school year comes to a close we hold our own annual FCS Art Show and Silent Auction. Every student’s art is on display at this event, which is also our fundraiser for this valuable program. Every class in the school creates baskets which are auctioned to the public, along with donated items from local businesses and artists.

Every grade and skill level is included in our program and classes are held biweekly for each grade. Creative expression is encouraged as students experiment with many different mediums and styles. Art is fun!
