2024 - 2025

Art from the Heart (4K through 8th grade)

Course Description: "In the beginning, God created"....those are not only the first words of the book of Genesis, but they are also the first insights we have into our God. He created. His creativity is all around us. We are all God's "Masterpiece" as He made each one of us unique. He has given each one of us special talents and creative abilities that were designed just for us. This year, we will focus on tapping into our God given ability to be creative. We will learn to examine art from God's design. Then, we will explore many mediums and learn how to manipulate art techniques to create a unique "Master's" piece. Our goal for this class is to experience art through God's gift of creativity. We want to help students release their fears and insecurities in their ability to be creative. Our goal is to allow the students to give their right brains permission to express and unleash their creativity. By exploring their talents, we desire for the students to be confident in who God created them to be. Let Loose, Let Go, Drop Fears and Insecurities, Be Creative! We don't use the word, "can't" in this class.

Instructors: Mrs. Cooley and Mrs. Halbert own a Bible and Art ministry, Forget Him Knot, to draw people's hearts to forget not the LORD in all that they do.
