At St. Mary's School, fine arts play a pivotal role in our comprehensive curriculum, enriching the educational experience and fostering creative expression among our students. Fine arts opportunities at St. Mary's School help students develop critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills, fostering personal growth and a broader perspective on the world. Engaging in artistic endeavors encourages them to explore new ideas, express themselves confidently, and appreciate diverse cultures and viewpoints.
From the harmonious melodies of music class to the vibrant creativity of art sessions, our fine arts programs are designed to cultivate an appreciation for artistic disciplines while nurturing individual talents. Our partnership with the Plains Art Museum further enhances our arts education, providing students unique opportunities to engage with professional artists, explore diverse art forms, and participate in dynamic programming beyond the classroom.
Music classes, led by Mrs. Joni Biel, allow students to discover and develop their musical abilities through vocal training, instrument practice, and ensemble performances. These classes build musical skills and instill discipline, teamwork, and a deep sense of cultural heritage. Similarly, our art classes encourage students to experiment with various mediums and techniques, fostering imaginative thinking and self-expression. Collaborating with the Plains Art Museum allows our students to access world-class art exhibits, workshops, and mentorship programs, enriching their learning experience and inspiring a lifelong passion for the arts. By integrating fine arts into our curriculum, St. Mary's School ensures students receive a well-rounded education that celebrates creativity and the human spirit.
