Elementary School
Elementary students ages 3-year-old Kindergarten through fifth grade are introduced to a variety of artists, art elements and principles, techniques and materials throughout the school year.
The understanding and appreciation of the finest works of man's creative spirit are necessary for a complete education.
The Visual Arts Curriculum at Briarcrest Christian Schools is both vertical and horizontal in approach. Visual Artists/Art Educators, Kristina Pulido (Elementary School), Peyton Burdick (Middle School) and Sarah Lawler Clark (High School) contribute their individual discipline-based curricula to formulate a balanced and age-appropriate art experience for all students.
Through the implementation of a cross-cultural and cross-curricular based approach, each instructor intentionally connects art history and art making to Math, Science, History and Writing. The visual arts are taught from a biblical perspective relating art production to art history, criticism and aesthetics.
Effective instruction in the visual arts provides the student with technical skills and motivation to develop an awareness of environment and to increase aesthetic and cultural understanding.
Art for All Ages

High School
Visual art at Briarcrest is all about learning the full process of making art. Creating is taught as a two-fold process: strong content, communicated through expressive and accurate composing, and careful, intentional craftsmanship.
