ARTS

 

Drama

 

It is our heartfelt desire to create a program where every student has an opportunity to participate and every student can shine. The GCA Drama Department is truly unique due to the extremely high level of participation across all grade levels of our Middle and High School. We take pride in the fact that nearly everyone in the student body gets involved in our theater productions.

 

Open to grades 6-12, students learn basic theater skills and fundamentals such as character development, stage movement, vocal techniques and improvisation. Students may perform in the GCA Talent Show and have the opportunity to audition for the annual fall play and spring musical.

 

Past productions include:

Narnia

The Sound of Music

The Riveters

Visual Arts

 

The GCA Visual Arts program exposes students to traditional fine art techniques and art history as well as a wide variety of digital mediums.

 

Elementary students have a Visual Arts class each week. Upper Academy students may choose from art electives including Digital Photography, Digital Art, Illustration & Animation, and Studio Art.

 

Our curriculum uses a STEAM approach to visual arts, incorporating coding, 3D printing, graphic design and animation. Students in all grades are exposed to a broad range of mediums including printmaking, drawing, painting, sculpture, as well as digital processes.

 

Exhibition opportunities include the Spring Art Show and animation screenings at our annual Talent Show.

Music

 

Elementary students enjoy a weekly music class and perform during our Christmas Show and K-5 Spring Musical each year. Fourth grade students perform in a special recorder concert. Fifth grade students have the option of additional study by joining our school band.

 

Electives for Middle & High School include:

 

Mixed Choir: Choir students are encouraged to use their gifts for God’s glory and to praise Him through song.  Attention is given to, but not limited to sight-reading, tonal memory, rehearsal techniques, vocal technique and two-part vocal divisions.

 

Concert Band: Students are exposed to a multitude of music styles while working in the Essential Elements for Band series. Emphasis is on sight-reading skills, music theory, playing in an ensemble, and individual instrument proficiency.

 

Praise Band: Students will develop their musical abilities as they take an active role in leading worship during weekly chapel services.
