Visual Arts
In art classes at Calvary Day School, students have the opportunity to explore the creativity that God has put within them through a variety of hands-on projects. Students work on drawing, painting, sculpture, and design skills using a variety of media and methods. Diverse subjects and themes are introduced to create an interesting and exciting art experience. Projects are based on God's creation, subjects that may be of personal interest to students, and integration of themes from core classes.
Students compete in the following competitions:
- Carolina Classic Fair
- Scholastics
- Forsyth County Library Bookmark Contest
