Visual Arts

Students enrolled in Visual Arts instruction at Shannon Forest Christian School (SFCS) explore and create in many different forms of art.

Painting: Students explore the world of color through water color, acrylic and oil based paints. They create water color pictures of animals or birds from the state of South Carolina, acrylic landscapes from the Upstate and oil based self portraits.

Drawing: Students draw buildings and still life pictures to learn perspective drawing, erasure and line shading.

Sculpture: The 3-Dimensional element of art is explored through wire sculpture and in the creation of larger-than-life structures like a two-foot tall dolphin and a four-foot tall IPOD!

Ceramics: Students use clay to make functional and nonfunctional pottery.

Graphic Design: Students design a logo that best represents their personality and style.

Art History: Students discuss different art periods according to what grade level they attend. Classes explore Christian artwork and compare and contrast the major themes that are still prevalent in artwork today.

Extra Activities: Students assist the Drama Department in making props for school plays.
