Today's culture is filled with images and God has saturated our world with meaning. Through Redeemer's Art program, students are given the opportunity to use the arts to open their eyes, cultivate and seek God's calling and intended purpose for creation. Art is a Bachelor of Arts degree program. It is offered as a general major and as a minor. Right from the start, small class sizes allow for deep relationship building with peers and mentoring by faculty. It is a powerful context where students have space to discover their own voice and dare to accept God's challenge to be a culture-maker and shaper. Your art classes are focused on the studio. Studio work integrates mind, body, and spirit in a unique way, balancing the study of technique (perspective, colour, materials) and the exploration of concepts and themes. You will approach the history of art, contemporary art practice and theory, with seriousness, developing strategies for navigating the difficult intersection of religious belief and contemporary art.
