This school is designed to train artists to be agents of transformation in communities, cities and nations. Students are trained in the biblical basis for creating art, with an emphasis on three areas: God’s character, heart purity and the position of the artist, and the means to communicate the message. The technical skills offered include: drawing, painting, ceramics, textiles, and sculpture.

The field assignment gives students cross-cultural experiences where they will have opportunities to apply the training received in ATS 257, including both technical skills and spiritual principles. They develop a deeper understanding of how to use art in sharing their faith and also have opportunities to learn from local artists and craftsmen.
