美术方面, our objective at HSP is to teach our students to know, 爱, and serve God through the pursuit of the true, 良好的, 美丽的, thereby helping them become the saints God has created them to be.
HSP’s fine 艺术s curriculum consists of general music, 视觉艺术, band, choir, 戏剧, 音乐剧, 和管弦band. Because the fine 艺术s are essential to a classical education, our philosophy is guided by a holistic approach. This means that the 艺术s are not studied in isolation, 而是, the study of each area of the 艺术s informs the others, as well as the other core subject areas.
视觉艺术
The 视觉艺术 are essential to a classical Catholic education. 圣灵预科的K-12视觉艺术课程使学生能够探索艺术制作, 艺术历史, 艺术欣赏, 通过天主教神学和基督教传统的镜头进行艺术批评, encouraging students to utilize their God-given talents.
With a strong design foundation, 学生学习如何寻求创新的设计解决方案和表达自己的艺术形式. This design thinking emphasis helps spark inner motivation, self-initiated discovery, 和实验.
正如约翰·保罗二世邀请世界各地的艺术家创造“美的新顿悟”,“我们的学生受到启发，以他们的生活和工作参与新福传.
“通过他的‘艺术创造’，人比以往任何时候都更像‘上帝的形象’.’” – Saint John Paul II, Letter to Artists, 1999
