The Importance of Arts Education

(Even if your kids aren't “Artsy”)

I can imagine what you are thinking after reading the title of this article…. “Oh great, another guilt trip article from a homeschool leader on what I’m leaving out of my children’s education and how it will negatively impact my family for the next five generations. I can hardly wait to read this one! Who really cares about the arts anyway?

The Master's Academy of Fine Arts

The Master's Academy of Fine Arts is a full fine arts school designed specifically for homeschooled children ages 5-18. Meeting just one day per week, children are exposed to the arts from an historical perspective.

Each year the arts are taught from a specific time period beginning with Ancient Civilizations, then moving on to the Medieval/ Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern periods through a six year cycle. Each year is self-contained so a student need not be involved for the full six years, nor do they need to begin at the Ancient Civilizations period to gain a benefit from the program.

Throughout the year, students concentrate on building foundational principles in our four core classes which include:

Starting a MAFA Program

The Master's Academy of Fine arts is a homeschool fine arts school where students taught from a historical perspective. The Master's Academy focuses on teaching music, art, drama, and history through six distinct historical periods. These include: ancient, medeival-renaissance, baroque, classical, and romantic. The children are exposed to choir, plays, drawing, painting, music theory, dance, and art history. We are committed to providing a homeschool art program that encourages children to Glorify God through excellence in the arts. Many of our homeschool art students have received large scholarships to universities based soley on their portfolio work completed at Master's Academy of Fine Arts. We understand the importance that the arts play in our culutre, and desire for every homeschool art student to learn about the arts through a God centered historical perspective. Our well rounded homeschool art program centers on Christ, by teaching our students not just the techniques, but also a historical worldview that shows them the importance of using their art to glorify God.
