Art 1 Lesson Plans, October 20 2011

PRE CLASS: students present work done over the week for instructor’s critique.

OUR INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: Or inspiration for today is from Gospel of St. John. 15:5, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” NIV.
If you are working on a difficult task remember Jesus is “your vine.” The vine gives energy, life, nutrition, and everything the branches need to grow fruit. No matter what church you go to Jesus is the “Vine,” a Christian’s inspiration, power, and hope. If you take a branch off the vine it can’t make fruit. Sometimes when I have a hard time I say something like, “Jesus This project is too big or hard I give myself to you and ask you to do it through me. I give you my weakness and receive your strength, I give you my lack of ideas and receive your wisdom, I give you my inability and receive your power. Thank you Jesus you are going to do this through me.”

AT HOME THIS WEEK: Draw paint two pictures of the students choosing. Make an autumn poster or picture; it can be any theme that has to do with the autumn season such as harvest, thanksgiving, all saints night (even Halloween if you are not opposed to it). It can be any style, it can have writing or calligraphy on it or a verse or poem.

OPTIONAL DRAWING LONG TERM PROJECT: This week do pages 16-17 & 18. Page 16, “I chased him all day and into the night.” Draw your avatar at night.

If you put God first in art, hobbies, work, relationships and whatever else he will bless you.
