When you sign up for Art Classes at Brighter Days, supplies are included, unless noted.  Because of our love for Christ and devotion to His Word, we will also include some Bible study and prayer time in each class.

Bible Journaling (with Ms. Vanessa)
Students will visually respond to scripture through sketching, lettering, painting, and collage with intent to connect deeply to the Word.  Work can be completed in a journaling Bible or sketchbook.  Sketchbook will be provided.  

Bible Journaling (with Ms. Jenny)
Learn how to make art in your Bible! In this class, we will explore drawing, colored pencils and watercolors. Please bring your own journaling Bible. All other supplies provided. 

Big Brush, Little Palette
Experience hands-on, loving fun with your young artist, collaborating together in this “mentor and me” style class to make a variety of art projects without any prep or clean-up!

Art Explorers
Beautiful beginnings start here with a child’s first marks- what treasures! In our Art Explorers class, your child will begin to express themselves through artmaking choices. This class introduces drawing, cutting, painting, clay, printmaking, collage, design, and more. Some activities may focus more on the process and tactile experience, rather than a finished masterpiece.

Primary Art
Primary Art introduces your children to beginning art skills, tools, and basic vocabulary. Your child will create with clay, printmaking, pastels, painting, design, watercolors, paper/soft sculpture and more. Students will learn about color theory, as well as refining cutting, glueing and drawing skills. They will have the opportunity to practice following directions, gain self-confidence, and achieve recognition for their creations.

Secondary Art
Artists experience the next level of art vocabulary and utilize knowledge of color theory through fun 2D and 3D projects that may take several weeks for completion. Art history, art elements and design principles are introduced as they create and explore. Artists become more comfortable with art tools at this age and learn that art is part of our everyday world. Students will practice independence, decision-making, and visual literacy (interpretation and communication) through art discussion and artmaking. Your child will create with clay, printmaking, pastels, painting, collage, watercolors, weaving, stitching, sculpture and more. A weekly sketchbook assignment is built in to increase observational and drawing skills.

Intermediate Art
With a strong foundation for art elements and principles, Intermediate artists apply those skills to projects with an increased exposure to measurement, perspective and illusion, portraiture and accuracy.  We will incorporate art history in engaging, 2D and 3D art projects loaded with opportunities for independence, decision-making, and visual literacy (interpretation and communication). Your child will create with clay, printmaking, pastels, painting, design, watercolors, cardboard sculpture, and more. A weekly sketchbook assignment is built in to increase observational and drawing skills. 

Studio Art
Studio Art focuses to maximize and maintain your child’s art interest as they develop a higher skill set and knowledge base. Artists will work to expand their skills and creativity through in-depth, personalized art projects with an exposure to art history, art elements and principles, collaboration, and art critique. Students will also have an opportunity to create a ceramic piece on the pottery wheel and learn basic terminology. 

Your child will create with clay, printmaking, pastels, painting, design, watercolors, sculpture and more. A weekly sketchbook assignment is built in to increase observational and drawing skills.
