Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” (Genesis 1:26).

In Genesis chapter one God speaks of making man in His image. He commands man to be fruitful, to multiply, to fill the earth and to subdue it. As God’s people, we are called to exercise biblical dominion over the earth.
In order to foster attitudes and actions of dominion, CLASS encourages student participation in various competitions. In whatsoever we do, we are to do all to the glory of God. The presentation of God’s truth, in a variety of formats such as art or writing, is vital in all societies and no less in our society today. To glorify God through the presentation of various art forms and to promote the development of skills, CLASS presents these competition pages. It is our hope that others will be inspired to be involved in future competitions and glorify God with heart, mind, soul, and strength.

Elisabeth, a fifteen year old student, has been homeschooled through CLASS since Kindergarten. When she was four years old, she began drawing horses because horse riding lessons were too expensive.
As Elisabeth has discovered the joy of drawing, she has learned that God gives us “richly all things to enjoy” and has grown to love reading, baking, swimming, baseball, badminton, biking, radio talk shows, computers, playing the piano and the guitar, and even taking tests. Someday she may learn to love weeding and ironing, too.
