Art
Our art program is a safe way for students to express themselves while building their confidence and self-esteem; choice-based art gives students agency while still developing essential skills and mastering various concepts.
Choice-Based Art
Our art classes utilize a choice-based art approach, which means students are introduced to a variety of techniques, materials, artists, and subject matter but have the opportunity to explore what interests them. In a choice-based art classroom, students are the artists. They have ownership, make decisions, problem solve, collaborate, and learn to persevere. Students are encouraged to create as a way of self-exploration and expression and are guided by our expert teachers. The result is that when you walk through our hallways, you see a display of unique, meaningful art.
Teaching art at Logos is a very exciting and unique opportunity where our primary focus is on establishing a secure and inclusive art classroom atmosphere for all students. We provide a choice-based open art studio that encourages students to feel comfortable, have fun, play, and freely express themselves. liz sprick, lead art instructor
Logos Mural Project
Our annual Mural Project has been in existence for more than 25 years and is an opportunity for Logos Students to give back to the community while using their creativity. Past mural sites include Jubilee Ministries, Earth Dance Organic Farm School, Ride on St. Louis, and United Cerebral Palsy Heartland.
Once a mural site is selected, students research the organization, make a list of questions, tour the site, and interview the "client" to discover what kind of mural best fits their needs. Students create several sketches and finalize the design after approval from the organization. The mural program teaches students to give back, work with others, collaborate, and meet deadlines. Students work hard during the summer session painting the mural and, at the end, celebrate with a dedication ceremony.
The 2025 mural was donated to the Wellston Loop Community Development Corporation (CDC), an organization deeply rooted in compassion, support, and harm reduction for those most in need. Located in the heart of Wellston, the CDC offers hot meals, clean water, clothing, shelter, transportation, wound care, and programs that foster healing and connection—seven days a week.
This year’s mural honors the space as a symbol of restoration and humanity. Led by a dedicated mural team of Logos students and staff, the design reflects themes of empathy, acceptance, and resilience. It now hangs in the CDC’s welcoming interior, where community members gather for meals and care.
The connection to this year’s recipient is especially meaningful: the CDC is now led by Kim Jayne, a former Logos staff member who continues to extend love and support to the community beyond our walls.
2025 Mural Team Artist Statement
Poem by Ashria A.
We open our hearts, ears, and arms for whomever needs them, since love is a universal language, humanity like an injured dove, compassion and understanding is the road to healing. For those feeling heavy, we strengthen with the belief of hope and restoration. The destination holds no value in suffering, and judgement is not the answer, everyone has a walk, we may not love the paths, but we love those who walk it.Aaron, Ayers, ashira, ben s., elektra, grey, lee, ms. amy, and ms. liz
