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

Lower School

Lower School art provides a dynamic space for exploration and creativity. From TK - 6th Grade, students engage in art activities that are seamlessly integrated into their learning. They explore the works of renowned artists and bring their own creative expressions to life, transforming our school hallways into vibrant galleries.

Our visual arts program nurtures personal growth and confidence by helping students master essential art skills while fostering a deeper appreciation for the beauty of God’s creation. Students are encouraged to express their creativity and share their work, cultivating both artistic ability and critical thinking.

Upper School

Upper School art offers students the opportunity to expand their artistic skills and creativity, building on the foundation laid in the Lower School.
