What makes us unique in the art school world? First, is our weekly accountability in three areas, prayer, scripture study, and service. Each student enrolled is expected to give a one minute report on how they are doing with these spiritual building exercises. In doing this, we help foster spiritual propriety that will only enhance the student creating imagery from the Bible.
We have and will continue to build in person chapters of the school where students of all abilities can learn privately from artists in person or online. We teach youth to adult and currently have chapters in Denver and Provo, with plans to expand. Our youth classes are held at different times from our adult classes.
For the more serious students that want the spiritual component, our school offers a Curriculum Mastery and chance to study with world renowned Christian contemporary masters online and/or in person.
Seven is the perfect number in the Bible. We have set up a seven semester system through which students can attain mastery in three different two dimensional approaches.
