Our Passion for the Arts
A Fine Arts Educator Perspective
What Daniel Smith’s quote expresses is our heart’s desire and goal for students at Suffolk Christian Academy. God is the author of the Arts, as depicted in the Creation story in Genesis. For too long, the Arts have been dominated by worldly thought and influence. It is important to cultivate students towards a love of God in the Arts, and of their God-given talents. Students are encouraged to worship God through the Arts utilizing their individual giftedness. As image-bearers we reflect a Holy God when we take part in the Arts.
Often, students do not believe that God has given them any abilities in the Arts, however, because we are bearers of God’s image. Throughout the year, it is important to discover each student’s ability and encourage them to explore how the Lord would have them grow as a fine art student. Our hope is that through their fine arts experiences, that students learn to bring God glory as fine arts students at SCA.
