Art at SJO

Jake Beccue is the art teacher for SJO. His goal as an art teacher is to provide students with a creative outlet, build their technical abilities and craftsmanship, and for those interested, prepare them for a career in the art field. 

In the past, FAB has purchased a kiln, clay wheels, and a color printer exclusively for art students’ use. New art tables are on the wishlist for future fundraising.
