Art Program

The Art Program at St. Philomena School provides a weekly class for Grades 1-8. Additional craft classes are offered to Grades 5-8 during the Wednesday elective period. In an effort to expand involvement with three-dimensional media, a sculpture elective class was developed. Grades K-8 also incorporate art experiences within the context of the regular classroom.Independent learning and responsibility are encouraged. The visual arts arena promotes the development of independent thought in the conceptualization of ideas and feelings, and their expression in original, creative works of art.

Each year the school takes pride in an end-of-the-year exhibit of student art. This has been a major attraction as part of the annual Spring Concert and Arts Festival, which allows family, friends, and others to view each student's visual voice which validates each student as an artist. Student artwork is also displayed throughout the school during the year, bringing the walls to life and showing the energy and talent in all students.
