ACRYLICS

(Teacher's notes)

Students will focus on the basic elements of acrylic painting including various painting techniques and elements of design. Assignments are taught and explained in class through lecture, visuals, and demonstrations. Subject matter varies, but usually includes nature, landscapes, still life, and the animal/insect world. Inspiration may also come from illustrating scripture, copying the Masters, and the student's imagination. Students use the remainder of the class time practicing skills just taught. Weekly homework assignments reinforce that week's class work. Students are expected to complete weekly homework assignments outside of class time. This will require work in the sketchbook in addition to "finished" work on either sketchbook paper or canvas. Often this will require 2-4 hours per week outside of class time to complete thoroughly. It is to the student's advantage to call or e-mail the teacher with any questions concerning the homework, as long as it is before Wednesday evening. This is a great class for an intermediate art student.

CHEMISTRY

Chemistry is the science of deducing and understanding the basic building blocks of everything material in God’s universe and how these building blocks react and interact with each other according to God’s natural law. Students will gain a basic understanding of matter, atomic structure, chemical bonding, composition, and reaction, as well as the basic gas laws and the laws of thermodynamics and kinetics.

This course consists of both class time and 8 to 10 hours per week of study outside of class. During the class new concepts will be discussed, tests and quizzes will be given, and research projects will be reviewed and discussed. Outside of class, students will be expected to do the assigned reading, perform the experiments, and work on their research projects. The instructor is available by phone or e-mail to answer questions throughout the week and will set times to help students when needed.
