This Semester we will be learning about Sacred Art by looking at examples from the Catholic Church. Students will discuss the process used to create each piece of art work they view. They will then take a few classes to create their own sacred art. This is to help them gain an appreciation and understanding of the artwork they see in their own church.

Topics we will we cover
