We are made in the image of a Creator God and are therefore made to create. For some, that means making beautiful art, for other, a delicious dinner, or a fantastic spreadsheet.
In the art room, we harness our God-inspired creativity to make art! Students have the opportunity to create a variety of projects over the course of the school year, incorporating famous artists, techniques, and styles into their work!

"As an educator, it is my job to help students to find their giftings that God has given them and to use those giftings to help them long term. My hope is that when they learn new techniques that they can find a way to create meaningful artwork."
