This method has the added benefit of helping to improve their drawing and observational skills. The “Grid Method” involves drawing a grid over your reference photo, and then drawing a grid of equal ratio on your work surface (paper). Students will draw an image focusing on one square at a time, until the entire image has been transferred. Once they’re finished, they simply erase the grid lines and apply color. This is a fun and creative style that helps the young and aspiring artist develop an understanding through spatial concepts with drawings, which will now be proportionally correct!

What better way to learn about our senses than by doing handson activities and meeting new friends.

The New Testament is a collection of 27 books written within 70 years after Jesus’ death and resurrection. Jesus, and the books written about him, has deeply impacted the history of the Western world. This class will look broadly at some of the literature in these 27 books and narrowly at Jesus’ life and ministry. Because these books primarily focus their attention on one of history’s most impactful people, we will spend time looking at who Jesus was as a first century Jewish prophet. We will be asking historical, religious and personal questions as we spend time learning about the world of Jesus and the early Church.

In this class, we will look at the historical development of Christian theology from its Jewish roots to its Roman influence to its modern expression. Although we will look at how Christians talk about God, creation, Jesus, salvation, humanity and the future, students will be encouraged to think about how they understand the Christian faith.

Mark Twain famously quipped that “Choosing the right word is like the difference between the lightning bug and lightning.” Writing and Research focuses on improving writing skills. We will begin by reviewing the craft of the sentence and the structure of the paragraph, and writing short compositions. We will also study, discuss and practice the writing process, including the editing and revision of compositions. Our goal is to improve your writing skills through direct instruction on sentence-level skills like choosing specific words, using exact and colorful language, varying sentences, and combining sentences. The class will culminate with a longer research paper on a topic that interests you, complete with Works Cited and MLA citation.

First, you could take Latin 1, which would repeat the eighth grade information for the first semester before continuing with new material in the spring. Second, you could take this class, which is an intensive course designed to cover the essential grammar and vocabulary that make up the spring semester of Latin 1, and move directly into Latin 2. Over the course of twelve classes, four classes a week for three weeks, we will highlight all of the most important building blocks you will need to succeed in Latin 2. At the end of the course, the instructor will determine if you are eligible to move into Latin 2, based on your progress and grasp of the material.
