Grandparents' Day Art Gallery

Art education at Veritas begins with the concept of God as the Master Artist, who has given us the Elements of Design: line, shape, form, space, pattern, texture, value, and color. These simple-sounding elements are the building blocks of all great art, and they are revisited and re-explored each year as students gradually increase their capacity to observe, understand, and create. In grades JK through 8, students discover age-old techniques and ancient patterns while using more modern art supplies to depict what they are learning. Students' projects are often directly related to the time period of history that they are studying in class that year.

Kindergarten through 6th grade student galleries are hosted by Artsonia. Please click the link below the image to view the grade-level gallery for each art project, which includes works by almost every student in the grade. If you click on a student's name in Artsonia, you will be able to see all of that student's work. 

In grades 7 and 8, students continue to explore age-old techniques and ancient patterns and are both encouraged to adhere to the constraints of a given historical time period in history and challenged to express themselves within that framework.

Beginning in 9th grade, self-expression is integrated into the art lessons as a discipline or as a skill set and students are prepared to make educated choices, having practiced with additional materials and methods. In general, high school students take the following classes in sequence during their time at Veritas:

Art Foundations (9th Grade)

Intermediate Art | Drawing & Painting (10th and 11th Grade)

Intermediate Art | Ceramics (10th and 11th Grade)

Advanced Art ​(12th Grade)

Elective Art Classes (9th through 12th Grade)

In order to help you locate a particular student's art more easily, we have created galleries by grade, with separate elective galleries. Please click the name of the class to view each gallery.

This year, Veritas students submitted 286 works of art and 44 written works to the Scholastic Art and Writing competition. In January, we were notified that Veritas students received 23 art and writing awards in the local Regional Scholastic competition. The award-winning pieces can be seen in the gallery below. In addition to the art, an honorable mention was given to senior Eli Redding for his lyric poem about David and Goliath. Click the link below to read Eli's poem!
Of the art awards, one Veritas student - Bella Griffin, 11th grade - won a Regional Scholastic Gold Key for Mixed Media, and as part of the next stage of adjudication, her work was immediately entered into the national contest in New York City. Out of 230,000 entries submitted by 80,000 students from all 50 states, Bella was awarded a National Scholastic Silver Medal in Mixed Media for her Wall Quilt - one of only 1,917 National Gold and Silver Medals awarded in NYC this year. Congratulations, Bella!
