Art
Every student in grades K-8 has a chance to learn art history, art techniques, and explore and expand their creativity thru art. Each child has God given talent and our art program provides the opportunity to help them explore and grow in their faith and their artistic talents. The students at Messiah are wonderfully curious and excited about art, which makes teaching them a pleasure!
Students will use a variety of materials, such as clay, paint, oil pastel, plaster, ink, and wire. They will explore Art using a range of techniques, including color mixing, origami, sculpture, ceramics, proper watercolor and other painting applications.
