Why Fine Arts Matter in Christian Education Part Two

“Dip your toe into the pool; jump into the deep end. Over time, you will be surprised at how God will bless (the school’s fine arts program) and bring honor and glory to Him.” — Darren Lawson

In part two of our conversation around developing a successful fine arts program, Jenny Copeland and Dr. Darren Lawson have a more in-depth discussion around the impact of such a creative program.   

More key discussion points: 

• How fine arts can shape students’ confidence
• Ways Christian schools can use the arts for outreach
• Emerging trends in fine arts education, including the role of AI

We hope you walk away from this conversation feeling encouraged and equipped to embrace fine arts as a powerful tool in Christian education. Whether you are a teacher, administrator, or advocate for fine arts, know that your efforts shape lives and inspire the next generation to use their talents for God’s glory. 

Every day in the classroom is an opportunity to impact and inspire through God’s power and grace.

Go do what God has called you to do!
