Fine Arts

Music education at St. Theresa Catholic School offered to all students PK3 - 8th grade, and a variety of music electives are offered to 7th & 8th grade. Instead of units, students work on musical concepts: rhythm, pitch, form, movement, timbre, tempo, mood, beat, and melody through a four step process: imitation, exploration, create, and improvisation (Orff Process) throughout the school year. Students learn how to problem-solve, communicate, and be expressive. Every year, we put on a school wide performance for Christmas, as well as other performance opportunities.

The Visual Arts program at St. Theresa focuses on what students find the most fun on production of drawings, paintings, sculptures, and prints.  We pull from art history as much as possible and incorporate art description, analysis, and criticism regularly.  We work in a cooperative, friendly environment and are responsible with our subject matter materials. 

"Students learn to express themselves in a positive way just as God, the greatest artist of all, does for us daily."
