The ART courses at Martin Methodist are designed to give the student a well rounded and balanced program allowing students to explore creativity and self expression. Our approach to art training can be summed up with these three principals, inspiration, investigation and experimentation. Our students learn a variety of skills and approaches ranging from art history, painting, design and drawing to computer art, ceramics and art for youth. Here at Martin we respect the beginning artist as well as the more accomplished student. Each student is nurtured according to their prior skills.

Students who are interested in art are encouraged to join Martin Methodist’s Art Club. We meet once a month to create art and cultural events such as art shows and sales on campus. Every Spring there is a trip taken to a major museum or gallery in Nashville.
