Schedule:
Tuesday - Art Studio - 129: 2:00 pm - 3:20 pm
Description:
Bible Journaling is a way to respond to Gods word with paint, paper and prayer. We will be going through some small devotionals and introducing different styles of Bible Journaling from paint to printables and bold titles to hidden prayers. Bring a Journaling Bible (I recommend either the Illustrating Bible or an interleaved Bible). If you’d like me to provide a Bible for your student please contact me.
I am a visual learner and I know I remember things better when 1. I associate them with color. 2. I spend time with them 3. I involve them while doing something with my hands and 4. I do it with other people. This class is a chance for other learners who are the same way to enjoy time in Gods word together as we study, respond, and make scripture beautiful.

Arts
- Writing
Schedule:
Tuesday - Art Studio - 129: 3:30 pm - 4:50 pm
Description:
In this class we will cover a variety of mixed media art techniques and talk about the beauty of letting your art be inspired by scripture. We will cover the basics of watercolor, acrylic, hand lettering, and much more. We will spend several weeks at a time exploring and playing with different mediums followed by opportunities to create more complete pieces of art founded on Bible verses chosen by the students for their own work. At the end of the term we will put all of their skills to use creating their own individual pieces on canvas for them to take home.
I have been offering this class at the resource center for three years now and the ingenuity and creativity of the students I’ve had always astounds me! It brings me such joy to see my students growing not only in their artistic abilities through this class but in their increased knowledge of God’s word. In addition, their self discovery as we work together to push their boundaries, try new things, and see the value of imperfections and learning from mistakes is beautiful as I watch them growing into young men and women of God. I look forward to guiding even more students through this super fun class this fall! I hope you’ll join us!
Please bring supplies I will provide in the first class as well as a good attitude and a verse to work with each class.

Description:
Color Theory will take you to a new level of understanding how to mix colors. Each of you will get a standard color wheel but as the weeks progress, you should be able to understand how colors work without it. We will be using different supplies to blend colors together to make our own color wheels as well. We’ll also be doing new projects each week using our new knowledge of color relationships. You will get a soft pastel set and sketchpad to go with your color wheel. Our projects will not be hard to draw as this is all about color! I will provide other mediums to work with as well such as watercolor and oil paint to play around with.

Description:
Whip out your micron pens for a black and white sketch that will look like you’ve been drawing for ages. Unlike graphite pencils which can look smudgy and gray, pens deliver clean lines. We’ll learn different techniques of drawing with a pen including cross hatching, pointillism, and more! Inktober happens in October where each day you have word prompts to draw from using your pens. We’ll be participating in that and seeing what each person comes up with daily. The other months will be filled with exercises, fun patterns to draw, and a big project toward the end of the semester.
