Mrs. Rager's Art Room

Mrs. Rager's Classical Moment: Did you know?

Visual art plays an essential role in classical education, serving as a bridge between truth, goodness, and beauty—the three pillars of a classical liberal arts education. At Founders Classical Academy, the study of visual art is not merely a creative outlet, but a disciplined pursuit that cultivates virtue, wisdom, and an appreciation for timeless beauty.

This Week

K-2nd: Students deepened their understanding of the element of art-TEXTURE and began learning foundational drawing skills, including grid drawing.
