“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful.” Psalm 139:14
The art program at Covenant Christian School is inspired by this scripture. We are God’s creation, a wonderful masterpiece, a unique work of art. From the least to most confident, we try to take each student from where they are to develop their creative abilities.
Art is important for children especially during their early development. Research shows that art activities develop brain capacity in early childhood; in other words, art is good brain food! Art engages children’s senses in open-ended play and develops cognitive, social-emotional and multi-sensory skills. As children progress into elementary school and beyond, art continues to provide opportunities for brain development, mastery, self esteem and creativity.
