Art
Students in the Visual Arts may participate in hands-on art courses in addition to courses in Art in the Christian Church, Buying into Art (a unique twist on art appreciation), and Art and Culture. Art studios, including drawing, painting, ceramics, calligraphy and stained glass provide students with practical ways to express themselves in art. Students are challenged to develop creative solutions in each of the media, and many advance in skills with personal projects. Many students, for example, have created a sequence of works on the potters wheel in ceramics, while others have developed unique and challenging stained glass designs to construct a beautiful finished window design. Students specializing in a Secondary Art Endorsement will take 30+ course credits in art to fulfill a bachelor’s degree in Education.
Quality craftsmanship and good imagination appear in many student art works exhibited during the year in the new art display cabinets in Luther Hall.
