This entry-level school is a highly disciplined programme that provides a biblical foundation in the arts, and develops skills in a variety of artistic mediums. Daily lectures are given by visiting artists and resident faculty. The course content includes art history, principles of design, techniques of drawing, introduction to life drawing, foundations of color theory, and introduction to painting.

The field assignment gives the students opportunities to use their art skills in a cross-cultural context. Students exercise their artistic abilities in a wide variety of settings ranging from sketching on location or teaching in orphanages and schools, to communicating with indigenous artists or university faculty. Through their artwork, students are able to share the appreciation for and delight with a creative, personal, loving God.
