Visual Arts & Ceramics

Lessons in the elements and principals of art are taught in St. Mary's art lab as students of all ages actively participate in projects through a variety of mediums including drawing, painting, mosaics, and ceramics.

Concepts reinforced within the art lab instruction include artistic perception, creative expression, historical and cultural context, and aesthetic valuing.

Because St. Mary's is home to its own ceramics kiln, students have opportunities to build hand-made clay projects, fire them, and glaze them in-house, creating finished projects from scratch.
