Learn to Teach and Share Your Gifts

Beginning Aug. 11

I am offering a high school art class, and also an Art Internship. This program is also in Google Classroom so can be accessed on student’s own time schedule online. If a student can’t make the Friday classes, we will offer a weeklong intensive that is 40 hours of in class art to cover the requirement. Student would complete a digital portfolio for college scholarship or freelance work and have art in our online gallery. https://youtu.be/fqsp6VZqdAM

What You’ll Learn and GAIN:

The Art Intern would do the following in the training:

– Understand and be able to share the elements and principles of art.

-Develop an excellent digital portfolio to for college and professional review.

-Understand and be able to teach the basic media techniques in drawing, painting, sculpting, pottery, and graphic (computer) art. Will get training on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and a variety of other programs.

-Have opportunity to do art for ministry in camps.

-Develop a comprehensive understanding of art history and techniques of the masters.

-Participate in offering classes to younger children.

Students will have an art show, and opportunities to showcase their work. Interns with the program will also be able to use all the Visual Manna teaching materials.
