| Square One Art and P.I.E. introduced new meaning to the word fundraiser for our school. |
| In the art room, our lower school artists worked on their original creations based on chosen themes. |
These themes lent themselves to focusing on the Mass Visual Arts frameworks and allowed for intriguing subject matter for the projects. |
Each grade level tuned into curriculum that integrated the elements of art and principles of design. |
Please enjoy our brand new FRCS Art Gallery, a sampling of the many varied and individual interpretations on a theme or focused lessons on a skill! |
