MS/HS Painting Elective Spring 2008
Ms. Janna DykThe emphasis for this class was on color mixing. Students were given the primary colors (red, blue, and yellow), as well as black and white, from which they learned to mix a variety of paint colors for their studies. An example of the color mixing exercise the class practiced is below. The assignment was to create the greatest variety of colors available using only the primary colors and white and black.
Considering Faith, Joy, and Peace in Mural Art
The climactic project was a group piece depicting some of aspect of faith, joy, or peace. Divided into groups of three or four, students created works that dealt with scenes illustrating, symbolizing, or representing these themes. A large part of the project was the discussion of murals and public art, as well as what an artist or group may intend in creating each.
High School Worship Elective – Mrs. Torres
This was my first year as the worship elective teacher. It was an awesome experience to say the least. Our time was spent in prayer and seeking the Lord as well as in worship. I realized that my priority as a worship teacher was not solely to prepare songs for Chapel, but more importantly, to encourage and challenge the worship team to not rely on their gifting alone, but above all things to draw near the “gift giver.” I feel we have a ways to go, but I am confident in this – “He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:5-7
Music Elective/Studio Production – Mr. Caal
This year our Studio Production elective has truly blurred the lines between electives and ministry. The goal of the Studio Production Elective was to expose our students to the basics of ewquencing, multitrack recording, and basically “making beats”. Our current group of students taking this elective (aka BTC-Beyond the Calling), have not only ministered here in our school, but also at various “Big Houses” around the tristate area. With God all things are possible! Keep BTC in prayer as they prepare to minister in the summer of ’08.
