Grammar Art

Grammar Art students at Caldwell explore God’s order and beauty found in the basic elements of the principles of design. Students learn the basics of art found in the art alphabet and are shown how to apply them to their drawings, paintings, mosaics, sculptures and others.

Projects are created through a variety of media such as:

• Charcoal
• Pen/Pencil
• Craypas
