We praise God for the creative touches that have enhanced our lives through day-to-day contact with fellow Christians as well as for those dedicated Christian artists who serve Him in local churches, Christian schools, and Christian publishing groups. Art education should be offered in the Christian school curriculum to nurture the God-given artistic wisdom and talent of every young child—not as “art for art’s sake” but as “art for God’s glory.” Art strengthens the child’s skills of observation and sensitivity to his surroundings, making him more aware of God’s handiwork in creation. It enhances all subject areas—visual discrimination for reading, visual memory for spelling, the ability to see relationships for math and reading comprehension as well as eye-to-hand motor coordination needed for writing. continued on page 2 In This Issue “Oh, I Learned That in Kindergarten!” by Joanne Hall page 2 Evening Out by Alice Bronson page 4 http://www.bjupress.com/ http://www.bjupress.com/product/247809 http://www.bjupress.com/product/233528 http://www.bjupress.com/product/233577 http://www.bjupress.com/product/233585
