Creativity in Every Grade | Visual Arts at Holy Family

“At Holy Family, we love seeing our students express themselves through art! Under the guidance of our wonderful Visual Arts teacher, Mrs. Erin Arnold, students in TK through 8th grade enjoy weekly art classes where they can explore their creativity, learn new skills, and discover their artistic talents.

Starting in TK, our youngest artists are introduced to the basic elements of art, including color, line, shape, texture, and form. As they move through the grades, students build on these foundations, experimenting with different materials, techniques, and styles while developing their own creativity.

Along the way, students learn about famous artists such as Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Keith Haring, and explore art history from the Medieval and Renaissance periods through Baroque, Realism, Modern, and Contemporary Art.

In Mrs. Arnold’s classroom, ART is also a reminder of three important lessons that go well beyond creating something beautiful:

A – ATTITUDE: Be positive and willing to learn.
R – RESPECT: Respect yourself, others, and our school.
T – TRY: Do your best. Effort matters!

We love that our Visual Arts program encourages students to be creative, try new things, learn from their mistakes, and take pride in their work. Not every project has to be perfect. What matters is the effort, imagination, and heart that each student puts into it!

And of course, we especially love seeing their wonderful artwork proudly displayed throughout our campus!”
