grade 9 fine arts

Visual: Visual Arts at Lourdes High School (LHS) maintains and promotes growth through creative expression in many forms - painting, drawing, design, ceramics, and sculpture. Starting with introductory level courses and progressing to Advanced Placement (AP) courses for those wishing to pursue an undergraduate degree in visual arts. Our goal is to cultivate and advance the understanding and vitality that visual arts plays in our school and community.

Performing: While LHS has a long and rich tradition of presenting thoughtful drama, entertaining comedy, and remarkable musical theater offered in extracurricular opportunities, we are now developing a strong curriculum of coursework in theater as well. Acting and Stagecraft is the foundational course offered in the Theater Department at LHS. Coursework also includes various aspects and skills necessary to support a strong foundation of theatrical experience -- directing, technical design, audition techniques, dance, etc. Consistent with our intention to develop a highly integrated Fine Arts experience, theatrical opportunities at LHS are often enhanced through work with the material and graphic arts, as well as vocal and instrumental musical experience.
