Elementary
In FPD’s elementary art program, students go beyond simple crafts to discover the joy of true artistic expression. Through hands-on experiences with various media and an introduction to famous works and artists, students deepen their understanding of the creative process.
Rooted in the belief that God is the ultimate artist and that we are created in His image, children are encouraged to embrace their innate desire to create.
Each year, students tackle exciting and challenging projects, building a personal portfolio of artwork. These treasured collections, sent home at the end of the school year, are keepsakes for both students and their families to cherish.
