LONG TERM PROJECT: Read acts chapter 3 and draw 2 illustrations in any style and medium you wish to use. However one of the illustrations must include be a person Title your illustrations and keep them together.

OUR INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Philippians 4:13. This does not mean God will give us super powers but more like he will give us super patience, and super perseverance. If you have a project or a job that is too hard pray and ask God to give you what you need, it will not get you out of a stinky job but maybe you won't smell it so much!

OUR INSPIRATION FOR TODAY... "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid." Proverbs 12:1. NIV. A good artist needs the self discipline to work his craft every day.  So also we need self discipline in our lives. There is the discipline that comes from the teacher or master or God we must know that we need that kind of discipline to develop and mature. If we are resentful when someone attempts to correct us we are making a foolish choice.

Our long Term Project: Travels in Acts.*

We will be making a photo album (but sketching instead of taking photos). This week find a folder or large envelope to put your work in. and label it Long Term Project: Travels through Acts. Look up a map of the bible lands showing Jerusalem and the immediate surrounding areas and draw a map of the holy land. Use any medium such as ink pencil charcoal water color. Read Acts chapter 1 and draw 2 pictures to illustrate things from Acts Chapter 1.  One picture must be a portrait of a person. Find one verse that is special from Acts chapter 1 and draw it in your best handwriting make it look special. You do not heed to use a whole page.  Put it in your folder and bring to class next week. NOTE: Don’t put off working on this.  This project will get very big very quickly.

Our inspiration for today:

1 Chronicles 9:20, "In earlier times Phinehas son of Eleazar was in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with him." 1 Chronicles 9:20. NIV. Even if our task is lowly liking being chief gatekeeper there is the promise that God may still be with us. The gate keeper would open doors and we should have an open heart to God.
