Worshipping Christ Through Our

Creative Expression

“He has made everything beautiful in its time…” – Ecclesiastes 3:11

Medina Christian Academy believes in giving students the opportunity to express themselves creatively through a variety of arts and media—from worship band and theatre to the visual arts. The arts are an essential component of a private Christian high school curriculum. Many of our students use their God-given talents and creativity to bring glory to Christ through their work. We have designed our faith-based visual arts program to allow students to build on their drawing and painting skills, expand their familiarity with different mediums and techniques, and, if they choose, pursue independent art studies.

Laying the Foundation for Study in the Arts

Art I, Art II, & Art III

Art I is a foundational course meant to build up creativity and independence within the students. Students will learn the elements of design and learn to implement them in their original works. This course focuses on foundational drawing techniques to help the students grow in their understanding of how wonderfully and beautifully the world we live in was crafted. Art II and III are designed for students who want to focus on cultivating their observational skills and want to explore drawing and painting in depth. Students in these classes will learn to create project proposals, conduct and participate in peer critiques and reviews, and how to fluently use art vocabulary to describe artistic techniques and principles.

Preparing for University or Art School Admission

Advanced Art

These courses provide students with an opportunity to propose an area of study that excites them and allows them to pursue their own unique creative interests. Students in these courses will learn how to self-critique their work and engage in meaningful conversations about why art is created and why the artistic choices they made are relevant and important. Advanced art is designed to build an art portfolio for entrance into an art school or a university arts program. As we help students prepare for this next step, we also give them insight into the many career opportunities that exist in the visual arts.
