"Lord, thank you for imagination and creativity.

Art class at Incarnation School begins with the above prayer. It is also a statement of the philosophy of the school’s art program that emphasizes both studio experience and art appreciation.

Curriculum

The curriculum provides for the exploration of three main areas of study: Creating Art – hands on activities, Looking at Art – seeing and describing art and Living with Art – art awareness. There is a sequential plan for learning in kindergarten through eighth grade. The teachers incorporate the activities from several art textbook series and periodical resources, and the students have the opportunity to work with a wide variety of media and specialty items.

The Art Room

The art room is a state-of-art facility. It easily accommodates 35 students. Custom built tables allow ample student work and teacher demonstration space. Long counter tops, both high and low, add more work area. Three sinks are available for easy clean up. Computers and printers are provided for an introduction to graphic arts. Adjoining the main room is a large storage space and kiln room.

We continue to add to our selection of prints and art appreciation videos. Students learn to see and describe the art of others through a basic method of art criticism.

Integrating Art

The art department coordinates many activities with other areas of the school. Classroom and library themes are reinforced through artistic displays of student work. Special art projects follow social studies, health fair and Spanish Fair topics. The art department is involved in preparation for the sacraments. Art and language art teachers often link art and literature.

Sharing 

There are many more opportunities for the viewing and sharing of student art. Throughout the year selections from all grades are displayed in four gallery cases in a main hallway. Large bulletin boards on two walls in the art room are used to display matted and framed students artwork. Student creations are also displayed in the computer lab, clinic, and several classrooms.

Nurturing Imagination

A very important goal of the Incarnation Art Department is to offer students a stress free program, strong in self-satisfaction, self-esteem, and memorable in terms of accomplishment. Three teachers work to nurture the students’ God given creativity and imagination, and to guide students in using, appreciating and sharing art now and in the future. Mrs. Susie Ellis teaches kindergarten through grade four.  Mrs. Pat Lotz teaches grade five through  grade eight.
