Northwest coast Indians is a hands-on creative history class. The students will learn about the resourcefulness and determination of an indigenous people to the Pacific Northwest. Each week, we will learn about a new element of their survival in the wilderness. We will also learn about the ingenuity in using all the materials that they found around them in nature, for food, clothing, & housing. As we learn about each element of their lives we will create a variety of crafts, dioramas, tools, and structures, representing this resourceful group of people.
Requirements:
Students will be expected to take notes as we are learning about the Northwest Coast Indians. These notes will go along with the crafts, dioramas, etc. that we will be creating each week. Parents need to notify me as soon as possible if your child will be absent, so I can set aside materials to go home the following week.

In this class, we will be drawing what we see around us in our day to day lives.
Observational drawing is an important technique for artists and is often used as a foundation for other forms of drawing, such as figure drawing, still life, landscape, and portraiture. It is a skill that requires practice and patience, and can help artists develop their observation skills, fine-tune their technical abilities, and increase their understanding of form, light, and shadow. All levels of ability are welcome. Subject material will be pulled from everyday life, indoors and outside (weather permitting). In order to recreate what they observe, this class will build on the elements and fundamentals of art such as line, shape, shading, space, perspective, depth, and form to name a few. Materials include: sketchbook, drawing pencil to keep, as well as shared drawing tools for in class use.

Dive into an exciting journey beneath the waves! In Ocean Explorers, students will discover the fascinating world of marine biology and learn how the ocean reflects God's creativity and thoughtful design. Through engaging, hands-on activities, students will explore ocean ecosystems and the amazing creatures that call them home. They will observe, experiment, and create as they investigate everything from colorful coral reefs to mysterious deep-sea animals.
Each week, students will add to their own God's Amazing Ocean Creatures Logbook. Near the end of the semester, they will complete an ocean animal research project by choosing a marine animal to study. They will learn about its habitat, diet, adaptations, and unique features, then build a diorama to showcase what they have discovered. On the final day of class, students will proudly present their projects to their classmates.
