Faith & Foundations is designed to nurture young learners through a joyful blend of early childhood education and biblical truth. Each week combines hands-on learning experiences with engaging Bible lessons to create meaningful opportunities for growth in both faith and academics. In this class we will strengthen important readiness skills including letter and number recognition, colors, shapes, fine motor development, listening, following directions, and social interaction. This is the perfect class to help little learners grow in knowledge, confidence, and faith as they build strong foundations for future learning.
In this class we will be reviewing our alphabet, alphabet sounds and writing skills. We will be working on putting our alphabet sounds together. Each week we will do fun games, crafts and worksheets to help us start reading 3 letter words. We will learn a new Bible verse each week.
Requirements:
Children need to have gone to the restroom before class begins, must be able to sit for discussion time, take turns and help clean up their space.
In this fashion illustration class creativity meets purpose. Students will learn foundational drawing skills, how to draw different fabrics, fashion design concepts and will develop their own artistic style all while discovering how to use their talents to honor God. Each class weaves together hands-on illustration practice with biblical truth, encouraging students to create designs that reflect beauty, modesty, and excellence. Students will gain confidence in drawing fashion figures, designing outfits and expressing creativity in a way that glorifies the Lord. The final week, students will present an illustrated collection to the class. This is perfect for young artists who love fashion and want to grow their skills while keeping Christ at the center of their creativity.
Requirements:
Students should be able to listen to directions, be self motivated to create their own designs after instructions are given, and be able to receive constructive feedback.
In this fascinating class, we'll begin with a raw, unwashed (sheep) fleece, learn how to pick and scour the wool, card and comb the fiber (using a drum carder, hand cards, and wool combs), dye the wool, play with color combinations on a blending board, spin the wool (using both drop spindles and a spinning wheel) into usable yarn, wash and set the yarn, and learn basic weaving techniques on a rigid heddle loom, using the yarn the students made. This is such a fun, immersive, hands-on class that my students have all been eager to return to and participate in each week! Adults are welcome and invited!
Requirements:
Interest in the subject matter and reasonably good fine motor skills. Feel free to ask me if you have further questions.
Purpose: To teach the basics of Human form drawing in the comic/cartooning media. Philosophy of Art: Art is an opportunity to connect with our Creator through the creative process. Art is not only a personal expression, but one to be shared, evaluated, and experienced.
Requirements:
This class does not require any previous skill level or knowledge of drawing, just a desire to learn how to draw comic book art or cartooning of the Human form. Students will be required to participate in Art critiques and weekly homework. All grading will be based on attendance, weekly homework, participation, and the final project.
