The CLPS Fine Arts Department strives to cultivate in the heart of each student a love of beauty, recognizing that our Creator is the source of all beauty. Further, we work in harmony with the other academic disciplines to enrich learning and connect students more intimately with the ideas we are exploring within the context of Western Civilization. Fine Arts teachers aim to teach students to think critically about the ideas and techniques found in art. In our courses, emphasis will be placed on engaging with art throughout history, delving into questions about artists from the past, and creating and performing artistic pieces. Additionally, students will grow in artistic skills through the study of art, music, and drama, and their artistic creations will be shared with the school community through various performances and showcases
