Whether they use a point and shoot, a digital SLR, or simply use their smart phone, during this class they learn the fundamentals needed to get the most from their camera and give them inspiration and education to help capture their own artistic vision. Worship Arts This course is geared specifically for those individuals who want to use their musical or technical gifts for God. During this class, students work on fine-tuning their musical or technical talents as we work as a team on putting together worship sets, practicing the songs and leading worship for our school s weekly chapel. We also take time to look into God s Word to find out what He has to say about leading worship and what it truly means to be a worshiper. Graphic Arts/ Yearbook In this class our students review art elements and principles of design. Students are introduced to new ways of using design and creating works of art.

The students really get creative and are a huge part of capturing important events and school spirit moments.
