Middle School

Art Program

We recognize that God has expressed creativity as a core attribute in His creation. Art is a powerful and influential expression of God’s indescribable creativity and the world’s wonderful complexity. Because each person is created in the image of God as a creative and inventive decision-maker, we are committed to the study of art as a part of an excellent academic education each year in middle school. In Art classes our students will learn skills and elements that will increase aesthetic awareness, gain an appreciation for forms and styles, learn historical, cultural and social influences, develop personal skills to produce products and performances, utilize their learning to critique art, and examine art’s influence on a view of the world from a Christian perspective. Additionally, we are committed to teaching Art because it enhances our students’ perceptions of the beauty of all creation. Art instruction is a part of our overall goal at Eastern Christian to develop within each student a knowledge of God and His world as each student identifies and cultivates his/her God-given talents for ministry and service.
