As part of the Saint Columbkille Partnership School curriculum, students in pre-K through grade 8 create artwork focused on technique, art history, and their own creative imagination. They are exposed to a variety of art media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, printing, and the study of art history. Students have the opportunity to explore 3D art using weaving, papier-mâché, and paper and clay sculpture. Our art room is equipped with several pottery wheels, allowing students to experiment with sculpture.
A generous benefactor of Saint Columbkille donated funds to purchase a kiln, enabling art classes to mold, glaze, and fire clay sculptures. Set up in a dedicated art room, the kiln is one of the few available to elementary and middle school students in Boston. The first ceramics project, a beautiful and unique set of chameleons, was completed by grade 8 art students.
