Art

“Mrs. Forget is a great and inspiring teacher. In art class she pushes me to do my best and inspires me in my artwork. She makes class fun by having challenging activities and she always makes us laugh.”

—Nicholas Gomez,  6^th grade

Elementary students receive one hour of general art instruction each week. At the middle and high school levels, art is offered as an elective course. High school art students may choose from several concentrations as well as Advanced Placement Studio Art.

Elementary Art

The elementary art program at WCA is designed to instruct the student to understand and apply media, techniques and processes to communicate their ideas visually, recognizing that each student’s creativity is a gift from and a reflection of our Heavenly Father, the Creator.

We explore art focused on the categories of: elements of art, art in history, art in cultures and art for the seasons. We look at and examine many different types of art and provide opportunities for the student to understand the visual arts in relation to cross-curricular fields of knowledge. The student is encouraged to approach their artwork with originality, flexibility, fluency and imagination.

Middle/High School Art

Middle School Art will involve a wide range of both 2D and 3D projects that help to provide an overview of the principles and elements of design.

Art Foundations is a survey course, designed to give students experience in creating many different kinds of art as well as exposing them to many different artists.

Intermediate Art will be taught as an art history class. Students will learn about and create art in relation to its place in history and the different art movements.

AP Art classes (offered simultaneously): 2D Studio Design and 3D Studio Design are college level courses in which students will have an opportunity to create a large number of high quality pieces that will ultimately become part of a portfolio submitted to the College Board for college credit.
