Welcome to the Art Program! 

Mrs. Barbara Hutson, Art Teacher


Mrs. Barbara Hutson is our PreK-8th grade art teacher. Our Art curriculum has the PreK-5th grade students meeting once a week for art class; the Jr. High art class schedule will be announced as soon as it becomes available. 

In addition to our art curriculum each year, we choose two artists for our students (K-8) to study. This year, we are studying the artwork of MC Escher and Wayne Thiebauld. After learning about the lives of these artists, the students have the opportunity to try to create an artwork in the style or subject matter for which the artist is famous.  Watch out for tessellations and yummy cakes and cupcakes this year!  They will be all over the school. By the time our students leave CTKCS, they will have studied sixteen famous artists and created beautiful masterpieces themselves.

We have an online museum for our students, called Artsonia.  Our student’s works of art are uploaded to their website where they can be viewed by parents. You may also purchase student artwork on a variety of keepsake items. The money generated through Artsonia will help purchase art supplies for our school. Artsonia will donate 20% of every purchase of art keepsakes to the school arts program. Check it out!

Our Art Show is presented at the Fairhope Public Library during Catholic School’s Week, January 31-February 6, 20201 We also participate in the Providence Hospital Children’s Art Show at the Festival of Flowers , March 25-28, 2021.
