<strong>Vision</strong><br />
Fine Arts, Visual 9<br />
CHCA Visual Fine Arts is designed to nurture <strong>and</strong> develop the student’s God-given desire to<br />
create <strong>and</strong> appreciate the aesthetic beauty in God’s universe. Students use value judgments to<br />
make decisions about art that honors God <strong>and</strong> shows appreciation for God’s h<strong>and</strong>iwork <strong>and</strong> its<br />
effect on their lives. Through various processes, students will become aware how art relates to<br />
other areas of study. Students examine the human experience through their own creativity,<br />
through art history as an expression of culture <strong>and</strong> through creating art using various media,<br />
technology, literature, <strong>and</strong> God’s Word. Students experience <strong>and</strong> gain skill with the various art<br />
processes to gain confidence in their ability <strong>and</strong> grow in their aesthetic sense. Students value<br />
cultural diversity through the knowledge of the visual arts. Visual Fine Arts prepares students to<br />
acknowledge their God-given talents <strong>and</strong> to pursue with confidence opportunities <strong>and</strong><br />
challenges set before them.<br />
