“And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works…and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship.” Exodus 35:31-33 NKJV

The work of art shown to the right was made by Ellie Burns, a current senior at Covenant. Using her favorite color scheme and technique, this design came to life. During the composition of the piece, she had one goal in mind: to create something “peaceful” and “easy to look at.” The feeling of gentleness and the encouragement from her family to “go with the flow” inspired her to add the ripple of waves. Here and there a sharp edge juts out. This formation reminds her that “life can be smooth, although every once in a while there’s a bumpy part. But that’s what adds to the beauty of it.”
Mrs. Moneymaker recently joined the Covenant family as our new art/graphic design teacher. She graduated from Anderson University (2002) with a degree in graphic design. For 14 years she has been teaching students. Graphic designing and wedding/professional photography are just a few of the other careers she's had. A color scheme of orange and blue is sure to get her attention, along with the color turquoise.

This student is an outstanding example of artist growth. Throughout her years of experimenting with art styles, she has personally felt the most growth in face sketches. Along with that, intricacy and line incorporation have grown to be a common part of her artwork. She finds the most pleasure in drawing whimsical things, and normally tries to include vibrant colors. Her only advice is to “not give up and just have fun. Don’t let art become a task.”
