Students may take Art as the second year of their two year Fine Arts requirement, and with the teacher's approval, may take a second year of Art to work on their art portfolio.
Seniors in advanced art will host an exhibition of their portfolio late in their senior year.
Here's what three seniors from the class of 2019 had to say about the impact of the art program on them while at St. Michael. For a sample of their art, click on the link to the left!
Rory Dembowski (see her picture to the right): "Creating art instills a calmness in me that I cannot find doing anything else. I hope that what I create can give that peacefulness to others as well. After going to St. Michael, I identify as an artist more than I ever did before. I have never felt as creative as I do now. "
Jacob Domning: "Beyond the traditional inspiration surrounding me having grown up in the Mobile Bay area, my primary inspiration for art has been music related. Album covers in particular create an iconic image for music that I love, and remind me of my favorite memories."
Colette Murphy: "In my two years of Art classes at St. Michael, I have taken a hobby I have loved as a young girl and discovered the passion I have to make a career out of it. I experience that passion when creating art with energy and boldness to it."
