Visual Arts

Making, perceiving and reflecting are the essence of the creative arts. Making art is the most important as it is holistic, involving heart, mind, and body. Perception and process are constantly evolving. One sees things differently. One takes risks, and things happen, sometimes called “mistakes,” which are really just new opportunities to learn. Expressing oneself in art is bringing into material form things that did not exist before, things of significance, specifically one’s personal meaning.

    The most rewarding part of being an art teacher? Seeing students light up as they learn to look at the world with fresh eyes. To watch them grow more confident and open to taking risks with new methods and materials. And ultimately, to witness that unique moment when a student creates at a level beyond what they believed they were capable of. At St. Luke's, students learn the value of making and learning from mistakes. Engaging in art from different angles—that's where students begin to realize their limitless potential for growth as artists.
