Art is an essential part of the elementary school experience. When we begin with the premise that God is "the author of all beauty" (Catechism 2129), art education is imperative to a Catholic Education. At Holy Trinity Interparochial School we believe that education in the area of the Visual Arts enables students to appreciate and respond to the beauty of God's world as well as the works crafted by artists.  

Objectives of Visual Arts Curriculum:

• To develop perceptual awareness of oneself, the environment, and identify certain visual concepts
• To develop skills in technique and use of media and tools
• To become knowledgeable of the elements of art, principles of design, and the language of art
• To be able to appreciate, enjoy, analyze, interpret and express preferences for works of art crafted by self and others
• To be able to produce two and three dimensional works of art incorporating developed visual concepts, learned skills and techniques, and creativity

Students have a wide variety of skills, talents, and imagination; therefore, all work will be evaluated by standards that each individual can attain.  

Art Class Expectations are sent home at the beginning of each school year for parents and students to review, sign, and return. These expectations ensure each class will work together to create an atmosphere in which all are free to explore artistically.

Music

Music is an essential part of the elementary school experience.  Every child has the potential for successful, meaningful interactions with music.
The development of this potential, through numerous encounters with a wide variety of music and abundant opportunities to participate regularly in developmentally appropriate music activities, is the right of every child.  The Holy Trinity Interparochial School Music Curriculum provides an opportunity for student to learn through vocal and instrumental participation. It also allows students to perform at liturgies and seasonal concerts (Christmas and Spring).
