We express ourselves creatively.
We are artistic influencers for Christ
The Visual Arts program at SFC is based on the understanding that God is a creative God who designed us in His own image — to be creative. SFC is dedicated to nurturing the innate desire to design and create through critical thinking, technical competence in a variety of media, visual problem-solving, and an understanding of the history of art. Interest may bring students into the art classroom, but passion ultimately drives their success.
We develop a portfolio
High School Arts
Senior art students host an exhibit showcasing their best work throughout their high school career. The emphasis is to display the scope of their development of higher-level skills and creativity, as well as the progression in the artistry of their work. The AP and Studio Art courses are the pinnacle of the SFC visual arts program. “My goal as an art teacher is to coach these up and coming creatives towards producing quality and professional standard work for their AP Portfolio and Senior Art Show. Throughout the course, I have seen each student grow in their craftsmanship, in their process for art production, and their ability to convey mood and meaning to an audience in their artwork. I am overwhelmingly proud of what they have accomplished this year,” said Ms. Hendrickson
We learn elements and balance
Middle School Arts
In Middle School, students learn they have the power to shape the world through their art. The SFC visual arts program in middle school introduces students to classes such as photo and design, printmaking, sculpture, painting, and drawing.
We experiment with joy
Elementary School Arts
SFC elementary students get to learn elements of art and color theory, art history and art expression. By the end of the year, all elementary students get to showcase their art projects in SFC’s annual art show. As students discover new gifts and talents, their teachers lead them in a direction to pursue it further. Teachers also serve as mentors and encouragers to children as they begin to find joy in their artistic expressions.
