particular form of artistic expression or a broad foundation across several arts.

students to create works and/or performances of art, and to appreciate and critically examine the
history and philosophy of the arts from a Reformed Christian perspective.

1. Demonstrate performance or creative ability in one or more of the artistic disciplines represented in the concentration.
