Fund-a-Project Art Studio Supplies 🎨

The art curriculum at Chesterton Academy covers both art history and studio art. The studio arts portion of the class introduces students to the basic concepts of representative drawing, that is, careful and systematic observation of the physical world, followed by the faithful translation of those observations into the visual language of drawing in various media. Another historically relevant skill introduced in the course is calligraphy, since the earliest written texts were created in ancient times. The second emphasis of the course is to introduce students to the history of art, beginning with prehistoric art of the Paleolithic age, followed by the art of the earliest civilizations (Egypt and Mesopotamia), then Minoan and Mycenaean art, which through their influence naturally lead into the art of the Classical Age - Greece and Rome.
