艺术与媒体学院

一开始, God created…” is the starting point of the Bible and the starting point for our students as they embark on building a life centered on creativity. 当出埃及记第35章谈到工匠创造美来代表和荣耀上帝的价值时, 我们的学生可以学习看到他们的创造性选择是宝贵的和重要的上帝. He has called these students to GCU and our creative programs to develop their own authentic expressions of their craft in a faith-based missional environment based on the GCU Christian identity and mission. 我们的课程以实践为特色, 实际解决问题的场景，道德选择, 行为和世界观是通过讲故事来表达的.

The Scriptures identify the components of God’s actions which we align to our student’s learning (Jeremiah 10:12). 力量、智慧和理解是我们课程的关键.

• 权力 学习战术技能是用来创造的吗
• 智慧 来自于对项目的研究，需要什么以及观众将如何接受它
• 理解 从历史的角度来了解我们的社会和世界吗, 当前和未来展望, 这使学生能够有效地利用他们的创造性生活

通过使用这些概念，虔诚地祈求上帝指导这个项目, 学生们可以利用上帝的创造力.

Our faculty members use the Word of God as a foundation for why they are here and what they will accomplish in the world. 他们用知识引导我们的学生成为榜样, skills and examples of service and professionalism through activities that are both written into the curriculum as well as offered from their own unique experiences. 我们通过做. Students are directly mentored and learn alongside faculty that demonstrate their faith as working professionals on and off stage.

我们相信，通过赋予学生对艺术的理解, 音乐, 跳舞, 设计, 电影, 讲故事, 戏剧和技术是21世纪福音信息表达的核心, 他们可以带着一个坚实的基础毕业，在这个基础上度过他们的一生.

Scripture serves as a core principle for students entering the creative workforce (Matthew 5:10-16). 我们的学生带着伟大的梦想和抱负来到这里. 我们鼓励他们从他们所在的地方开始领导-在任何环境中都是盐和光. 在GCU的课堂上，学生们带着自信走着这条路. The opportunity to learn inside organizations managed through a Christian worldview allows them to understand what it means to let their light shine in the workforce.

艺术和媒体专业的学生通过挑战学生为GCU的使命做出贡献, 可能不了解或不理解艺术的教职员工(广义上). 他们从事创造性的合作，在工作场所的互动, 沟通, 领导力和企业家精神是在功能性环境中发挥出来的. 我们的教育鼓励学生做自己 负责任的领导者和创新的思想家.

戏剧、舞蹈和音乐表演使学生:

• 通过别人的眼睛看世界
• 批判性的思考
• 理解舞台上描绘的主题、故事和理想

Thundering Heard Pep Band是积极表达的领导者, 尤其是在竞争激烈的世界里. 学生们可能会发现成为GCU强大的音乐表达的一部分的巨大乐趣. Students in the 设计, social media and 电影 programs are telling stories of our world to our world. They serve the GCU community with beauty in the realm of commerce and community engagement through their skills.

The student experience is given a single foundation of faith that enlightens the multiple and often confusing messages swirling in our culture. When students know that there is solid ground for what they believe, they are more likely to succeed.

Students take the Christian worldview course where they are challenged to better understand who they are in Christ, how those with other views may perceive Christ and gives them language and tools to live and communicate from that perspective.

Throughout our curriculum we reinforce those concepts as students seek deeper understandings of themselves and the communities in which they live and create. This is of particular importance for our 讲故事 students who greatly benefit from understanding populations other than their own. 移情理解和行动, 耶稣所示范的那种, pushes our students outside their comfortable boundaries and can set their life into a direction with a missional attitude for all. This time of change during the college years is highly valued within the 艺术与媒体学院, and we work intentionally to support this growth in our students with curricular and co-curricular activities.

学生们有很多机会在他们的信仰中成长. 例如, 我们的舞蹈节目包括表演前的祈祷, 每月和系里一起学习圣经, creating art inspired by students’ Christian faith and performing in the night of worship and 跳舞.

随着GCU适应这种人类繁荣的新语言, 我们学院正在积极地将这些理念融入我们的内部使命中, 书面材料, 课程和对话. 我们的新使命: 艺术与媒体学院通过创新促进繁荣, 真实的讲故事和使命精神 ——这是有意以繁荣为中心的.

GCU的艺术与媒体学院旨在促进人类的繁荣, 亚里士多德将其定义为过上美好生活的能力. 我们的学生讲故事，反映人类的状况. 我们的学生为自己和他人创造美丽和丰富. 我们的学生从混乱中创造美丽，从不同的部分中找到解决方案. 在左与左的对话中. 右脑优势, the imagination and creativity of the art and media students’ primary right brain thought patterns offer an innovative reflection within an often analytics-driven world.

以“如果……”开头的问题?和“还有什么??” are key components in our teaching, and our new mission lights a fire under all of our activities. 我们正在重拾艺术的神圣根源——音乐, 剧院, 跳舞, 视觉-基本上是开始的, 由教会发展和广泛赞助，以传播神的话语. We encourage our students to move from a passion for the arts to a Christ-centered professional calling.
