In this class we will use guided drawing as a means to discovering our own unique art style. Lessons will emphasize important foundational elements of a successful painting as we refer to famous works and styles created by the Masters, as well as a few contemporary artists. Students will learn how to see the world as an artist by breaking down complex subjects into simple shapes. Emphasis will be placed on “loosening up;” placing much less energy on perfected realism, and celebrating the “imperfect” mark making that contributes to an interesting painting and design. We will cover drawing and painting technique, with wide exposure to multiple mediums. Just as each of our signatures reflect our own unique style, so does our artwork! We will correlate this concept to a marveling at God’s gift in creating each of us as an original masterpiece, each with our own unique gifts and strengths that we were given to bring beauty into this world! We will complete eight bold, beautiful art projects throughout the semester, each project taking several sessions to complete.
Please note class duration will be 90 minutes. Due to the nature of our multiple session projects, it is important your student attends as many classes as possible. Please send students in clothes that can get messy so they can feel free to create!

This is a Part II continuation of the Drawing, Color & Originality class. **Part 1 is not a prerequisite!** Classes are designed to revisit the structure and concepts learned in Part 1, with all new projects! We will continue to cover important foundational elements of a successful painting as we refer to famous paintings created by the Masters, as well as a few contemporary artists. We will use directed drawing in many projects to learn how to “see” the world as an artist, breaking complex objects into simple shapes. Emphasis will be placed on “loosening up;” placing less energy on perfected realism, and celebrating the “imperfect” mark making that contributes to an interesting painting and design. We will cover drawing and painting technique, with a wide exposure to multiple mediums such as Sharpie, oil pastel, soft pastel, collage, watercolor, tempura and marker. Just as each of our signatures reflect our own unique style, so does our artwork! We will correlate this concept to a marveling at God’s gift in creating each of us as an original masterpiece, each with our own unique gifts and strengths that we were given to bring beauty into this world. Students will complete at least 6 - 7 bold, beautiful projects throughout the semester, each project taking several sessions to complete.
NEW THIS SESSION: We will be pairing a famous classical composer on day two of each project to gain familiarity with the composer’s name and music, joined with a brief story of the composer's background. The featured music will play during our artists' creation time.
**Please note class duration will be 90 minutes.** Due to the nature of multiple-session projects, it is important your student attends as many classes as possible. Please send students in clothes that can get messy as some of our mediums have the potential to stain clothing.

Description:
In this camp, we will focus on teams.
We will create teams with names and logos. Those teams will compete throughout the week in outdoor games and indoor activities like scavenger hunts and escape rooms. We will learn about different types of teams and how working together is to the benefit of everyone.
Each day will include some form of art or creation, team activity, movement, discussion and snack.
Students will explore the basics of drumming, such as: Learning how to play basic and intermediate drumbeats, the purpose of each beat and when to use it, how to read drum notation, playing along with songs, and other important drumming techniques! My hope is to prepare students with a basic knowledge of drumming, so they can go on to pursue any form of drumming they wish, to the glory of God! Pricing is $10 a lesson or $40 a month. Hi! My name is Joseph Hallett. I have been playing drums for about 4 years now, and love it as much as the day I started. I find it very important to intertwine playing music with following Jesus, which in turn will change the way drumming is viewed. The worship director at our church puts it closely this way: using our gifts to bring others into a state of true worship. My main genres of music are Worship and sometimes pop or rock. I also enjoy composing videogame-type tracks. My favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 19:21.
Requirements:
Practice at least 30 min per week. The more the better.
You will need a pair of drum sticks (Vick Firth recommemed), a drum practice pad, and a pair of wired over the ear headphones.
