Fine Arts

At Cypress Christian School the Fine Arts department encompasses all forms of music and visual arts and gives us an opportunity to encourage our students as they learn to be true image-bearers of the Creative Maker we serve.  Our band, choir, and music classes allow our students to explore the creativity and beauty of making and appreciating music.  While our art classes and specialized projects instill an appreciation for the imagination and help to develop our students' understanding of how it can be translated to various mediums - it's also a great chance for them to enhance their fine motor skills.

Band and Choir
 We are proud to have a talented group of students who participate in our band and choir.  Starting with our 5th Grade Beginner Band, our instrumentalists develop and hone their skills with opportunities to perform alongside our Middle School Band at various events throughout the year.  Additionally, our choir consists of gifted young men and women from our middle school who share their passion for Christ and music through song.  These groups take great pride in their craft and bless our student body with their God-given gifts.

Visual Arts Program
 
Our Visual Arts Program provides students with incredible opportunities throughout the year to create and showcase the talent God has given them. Finished pieces are displayed in our main lobby and library to encourage participation and celebrate the time and effort our students pour into their work. The school year is full of incredible opportunities for exposure to different art mediums and to participate in unique projects that help to sharpen their skills in this field.

ACSI Art Festival
 
Each year, Cypress Christian School is honored to participate in the ACSI Art Festival held at Cedarville University.  From the hundreds of projects our students complete, the CCS Staff vote to send 39 pieces to the festival.  These decisions are finalized by March to give ample time to send our submissions to the festival in mid-April.
