As a Co-op student in art, I have gained a lot more experience working with the different materials used in the studio. I have seen the amount of hard work and time that is put into preparing the materials, and this resulted in a greater appreciation for the teachers working in the art department.

"I enjoyed taking art at SDCI because Ms. Sloan is so positive and fun! She has the best way of explaining things to everyone and she is always willing to help. The art projects are super fun and even though it's not a normal year (Due to COVID) I feel like I've still learned lots!"

I originally took art because I've always enjoyed the subject. Now I realize you can make a career out of it so that's what I'm planning to do!

"You don't have to be good at art to take art at SDCI, because you learn the skills you need!"

I like art because it gives you a different perspective on things and you learn so many new skills. It's a great relaxing hobby too!
My favourite part in art would be that even if something isn't your best work, everyone is so supportive of each other and it's lots of fun!

I think the art program is great because you get to explore different art forms and I get to express my creativity.

Art class gets my creative juices flowing and makes me want to do more art outside of school. It also provides me with materials I wouldn't usually have a chance to use!

The Art Program gives me a way to express myself and be creative through hands-on learning. Art is a unique way to look at the past, present, and future, and our art program really teaches us about how the human race has changed and developed over time.

No matter what your artistic ability you end up with a product you're proud of thanks to the amazing teachers! I have taken art all the way through to grade 11 and I love it!
Jessa - Grade 11
I took art because I like drawing so having a class where I'm free to create what I want is really nice. Taking an art class is beneficial because it teaches you the different techniques and skills to create artwork. It also makes you a better artist whether you enjoy drawing, painting, or sculpting.
