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.

Ellie Tauscher
Fall 2021
Arts
Schedule:
Thursday - Auditorium - 002: 3:00 pm - 4:50 pm
Description:
“It was only when I realized how actors have the power to move people that I decided to pirate acting as a career “ -Cate Blanchett.
Acting is moving and powerful…and hard. But it’s also one of the most incredible and fulfilling things I’ve ever done. In this class I’d love to nurture and develop your student’s love of acting and live theater helping them grow into greater actors by becoming better observers, critical thinkers, and more expressive and grounded individuals.
In this class we will work on scenes and monologues as well as preparing for a comedy night at the end of the term. We will cover acting basics in an engaging and wholesome environment where we work together to improve and encourage young actors to deepen and improve their craft at whatever level they are at currently.
Bring a desire to act, a good attitude, and a water bottle!
Homework: 30-60min daily

Ellie Tauscher
Fall 2021
Arts
Schedule:
Thursday - Auditorium - 002: 1:00 pm - 2:50 pm
Description:
Music conveys emotion. Theatre offers an alternate perspective. If used well together they can elicit a greater response than either one alone.
In this class we will start with the basics of musical theater, learning parts, choreographing a song, and working as a group. As we develop those skills we will work on duet or small group pieces and potentially participate in a night of music and comedy together with the acting 1 class at the end of the term.
Please bring a good attitude, costume basics (white shirt, black pants/socks/shoes) and makeup basics for potential performance. A basic knowledge of singing or music reading is recommended, but not required.

Ellie Tauscher
Fall 2021
Arts
- General Art
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.

This class is ideal for artistic kids who love to draw but also are hands on and want to experience working with clay.
