What does one do with a big bare wall that greets visitors at our entrance? During the winter and spring of last school year, visiting ceramic artist, Bob Yost, worked with hundreds of LCCS students to address that question. Conceiving a ceramic work that would embody the school’s mission statement, Mr. Yost could be seen frequently ferrying crates of clay slabs to and from the art room eventually emerging with the pieces parts that would comprise the finished work.

Last winter a friend shared a song with me called “Why it Matters” by Sara Groves. Whenever I listen to it, I'm reminded that beauty matters because it’s a reflection of God’s creative character. Many hands in our school community, orchestrated by a talented visiting artist, joined together to make something of lasting visual impact because beauty matters.

Beautiful, I so agree, beauty does matter. Love the pictures.
