PCA believes that art education provides a system for communicating ideas and feelings about God, themselves, and their world around them. Through the act of creating, students are challenged to exercise their minds, solve problems, and to utilize their imaginations while formulating new ideas. Participation in an art program contributes to the development of the positive character qualities of teamwork, flexibility, appreciation and respect for others’ ideas, and striving to glorify God through their efforts and talents.
 

The art department offers visual art study through Drawing & Painting Studio, Ceramics Studio, Advanced Art, and AP Studio Art for both drawing and 2-D portfolios. In addition, 8th graders receive a semester of art education, and the Yearbook class is a fine arts course.
 

Beyond the regular class study, students at PCA are encouraged to participate in the annual photography contest, a gingerbread house contest, field trips to Detroit Institute of Art and the Center for Creative Studies student exhibit, and enter various art competitions at the state and national level. Two art exhibits each year showcase the talents of the students and allow the PCA community to partner in our art education efforts.  A newsletter, The Artful Exploit, provides insight to the art activities in and outside the classroom during the year.
