Fine Arts at Trinity School

We are continually amazed at the dedication, hard work, and innovative endeavors of our Fine Arts students at Trinity School.

Under the new Choir and Theater Director, Chris Vaught, the choir has created a unique sense of community and ensemble that cannot be experienced elsewhere. The Choral students are developing vocal skills, musical skills, and even social skills. This learning environment will prepare students for their upcoming concerts, stage productions, and services of worship in which the students will participate throughout the school year. 

 

The extremely ambitious Upper School band has been playing at pep rallies, football games, and competitions. In every event, the band students perform with pride and excellence as they showcase their musical skills. In September, the Trinity Band had seven students audition for the ATSSB all-region jazz band.  Five students made the band and three earned the competition's first chair. These students will participate in the all-region jazz band clinic and concert in January at Angelo State University. 

Congratulations to:

 

The Upper School Band also gave joyful concerts for the students at Bynum School and for our Trinity preschoolers on the Prairie.  Because both of these concerts are so loved by their audiences, they have become annual events.

The Visual Arts students have been creating impressive and innovative artwork. Advanced Ceramics and Sculpture students are working on projects inspired by The First Fire Exhibition at the Archie Bray Foundation, which featured the artwork of five Indigenous ceramic artists. Some Drawing and Painting students competed in the 2023 Midland Fire Department Poster Contest. Our Upper School won the top honors with Modesta Welborn winning 2nd place and Camille Dinger winning Firefighters Choice Award.

After learning many skills with Adobe Suites software, Digital Art and Photography students are using their creativity to design a pair of shoes to welcome the author of Pete the Cat books, Eric Litwin.

Inspired by our 2023-24 school theme “Let Your Light Shine”, one group of Drawing and Painting students created a collaborative sunrise drawing and the craft makers class is making moon lanterns for the chapel. We will continue to see this theme interpreted in many creative ways throughout the year.

The Fine Arts faculty will continue nurturing and promoting the artistic growth of our students and providing them with the opportunity to excel in their chosen artistic endeavors. We look forward to a year filled with creativity, inspiration, and outstanding achievements from our students.
