Art at CTKCS 

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  Our Jr. High art class meets with Mrs. Hutson four days a week for one semester.

In addition to our art curriculum each year, we will choose two artists for our students (K-8) to study. This year we are studying Henri Matisse and Vincent Van Gogh.Be on the lookout for bright and colorful, starry nights, landscapes,and painting with scissors artwork, as both of these artists loved color and making impressions of it rather than just drawing and painting realistic work masterpieces.  We also will focus on some contemporary artists and their works throughout the year. By the time our students leave CTKCS, they will have studied more than 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 young artists will have their work on display throughout the school in the hallways and in the Library.  Be sure to be looking for our Virtual Art Show!  Mrs. Hutson will keep you posted whenever a new show is ready to view online!

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