Junior & Senior High Art Program

Our art program/department instructors must have knowledge and some experience in all art forms. Ninety percent of what we see in the real job world contains at least some art aspects. With that statistic mentioned, art-related work can be very “worldly,” which makes it very important for us to raise up solid Christian artists who are able to glorify God in their workplace through their art. Therefore, the philosophy of our fine art department centers around several key components:

  • Treating and encouraging all art students as if they have enough art potential to have a related career
  • Encouraging all art students to glorify God in their art expressions appropriately while still developing the students’ art vivaciousness (meaning while still developing their originality and encouraging a lack of fear within their art expressions)
  • Preparing students to not just be “college ready” but also “career ready”
  • Challenging each artist to the point where it “forces” them to be great
