Fine Arts

Understanding that children are artistic by nature and interested in creative expression, LFCDS has created a Fine Arts Program that is rich, engaging, and fulfilling for each child.

LFCDS Fine Arts Department Philosophy Statement

The arts are an integral part of a well-rounded education. Through participation in the fine arts, students gain transferable skills such as creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and self-expression. Students observe and reflect on a variety of cultures to better understand the influence of the arts on society. This exposure to different works enables students to make informed judgments about the art they experience and create. During the artistic process, students develop skills such as self-discipline, perseverance, and collaboration. In the arts, students cultivate confidence in their own creativity and a sense of personal fulfillment, sparking joy. At LFCDS, the arts are a cornerstone of the curriculum, ensuring students will always have a place to explore themselves and the world around them.
