| Description: | Genius Hour was first invented by Google where employees were allowed to use 20% of their time (Fridays) to work on their own ideas for projects. GMail, Google News, and many other profitable ideas came out of this initiative.
GeniusHour-Visual Art Special Projects at FPHRC will be an exploration time for students to imagine, create, and share visual art projects. So it will NOT be a classic Genius Hour in that we will limit the projects to visual art, graphics, etc.
Some examples:
- Produce a children's book on a parable in the Gospels
- Paint a large composition illustrating home schooling for a hallway at FPHRC
- Produce a sculpture of the Apostle Paul preaching at Athens
Guidelines and rules for projects provide safety, moral, and legal guidelines. Here is the basic process:
1. Students will propose a project for approval by parents, the instructor, and the administration
2. Students will plan how to create and share their project
3. Students will produce their project for approval
4. Parents and Students will evaluate and decide the next steps
So, Genius Students at FPHRC. Join this class for an adventure in learning.
Students will be able to use the computer lab for two hours during class time and by appointment with Mr. Snyder. The computer lab has Wacom screen tablets, Adobe Premier Rush, Gimp, Blender, Audacity, and several other software programs useful to produce projects.
Here is a good YouTube to learn more about Genius Hour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMFQUtHsWhc
Here is a website for ideas: https://www.geniushourguide.org/ It may have some wrong ideas but it seems to have some helpful information also.
Mr. Snyder has accumulated lots of art related supplies. If Mr. Snyder does not have the supplies needed, then parents and students will have to provide them. |
