13 | The New Renaissance: The surprising story of HCCS Art and schools around the country

AMDG Welcome to our episode on the story of how our little school in the East Mountains worked to make our St. Jerome’s Curriculum come alive with beauty on the hallways of our school! In this episode we will talk about our story. How did we find our art? How did we build on what Mrs. D was already doing here? Who paid for it? How does it reflect our curriculum? What are other schools doing with this vision? If you listen carefully, you will see how the three of us, along with Mrs. D, have been prepared for years by the Holy Spirit to bring this vision to our children. The role of Christ in the Desert Monastery, https://christdesert.org/ especially speaks to me as Catholic education began in the monastery centuries ago. If you want to go deeper, we will discuss how allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough to be looked at by the art is the goal. We discuss how the rich art on our walls and the literature we read tell a story and teaches students about narrative that help them build a vision for their own lives. Also, how does the fact that art reaches into the pre-rational part of the human person open up the child to the humanity of Jesus in ways they may not even be aware of? As in all things in our school, our look at beauty is meant to draw us to Christ Himself, the epitome of beauty. I know this discussion is long and may be worth breaking it up into three sessions, but truly it is worthwhile listening. Thank you for being on the journey to Christ with us here at Holy Child! Blessings, Principal Martinez
