Summary
DVCS seeks an Art and Aesthetics teacher able to foster the wonder and creativity of his/her students and then channel that wonder into a commitment to technical skill and mastery. His/her knowledge of classical forms, church history, and artistic movements informs his/her teaching and inspires his/her vision for classical, Christian artists who take the Creation Mandate seriously. He/she recognizes that his/her students are responsible for creating in the image of their Creator, in spite of (or in contradiction of) the loudest secular voices following the Enlightenment and Romantic periods. He/she embraces a generational view of his/her role, knowing that even the most committed Christians (including colleagues) may need great help understanding the importance of art in the Christian life, and that reclaiming a right understanding of art within the Church and classical education may take generations. The ideal art teacher seeks to be a thought and vision partner with a classical, Christian school which aims to foster that right understanding and works alongside parents in making art an important part of their daily lives. The ideal candidate fosters within his/her students and their families a longing for right affections, masterful art, and good taste.
