ACS students have opportunities to develop skills, express creativity and honor the Lord through visual arts from Prek through High School.
Early Childhood Arts (Prek-Kinder)
The arts play a huge role in our Early Childhood curriculum, with opportunities to develop skills, express themselves, learn God’s Word, and ultimately praise and honor the Lord creatively.
Elementary Art Program (1st-5th)
The goal of the elementary art program is to challenge students to use their creativity and imagination to develop their own style of art, while learning about how God created each of us in his image. We are his masterpiece, and although each of us are different, we are all created beautifully and carefully, with a specific plan.
Visual Art is part of our Specials Program for Elementary Students. Each elementary class attends art on a rotation each week. With each three-class segment, a new artist is introduced, and a new art technique or medium is used. Throughout the various projects, elementary students learn proper techniques when using watercolor, acrylic, oil and chalk pastels, paper, and pencil.
All elementary students have art on display at our Winter and Spring Art Showcases, held in conjunction with our Winter & Spring Performances.
Middle School Visual Art Program (6th-8th)
Visual Arts are offered as enrichment for middle school students as an opportunity to explore and mature in specialized mediums. As various artists and mediums are studied, students develop their personal style and find where they are most gifted. Students learn to take an idea and create their own masterpiece, just as God created each of us uniquely the way He wanted.
Through our Middle School art program, students not only gain a deeper knowledge of the medium, but also learn how to utilize many different techniques. These courses introduce and build upon their subject throughout the semester.
