Gardendale: Homeschool Art Classes

For more information, please contact Andee McGrady at and33m@att.net or Jessica Snow at zachandjessica@gmail.com . 

Melissa Pritchett is a homeschool momma that has graduated her kiddos! She is willing to teach an art class at the church (*TBA, probably Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Gardendale), if possible, 2 fridays a month. I'm pasting her e-mail so that you can see exactly what she says. As of now, the class would be Friday at 1, starting the Friday after labor day. It would run 2 Fridays on, 2 Fridays off (*Ages 6 and up).

She is willing to offer a family discount of half off for each student after the first one. The cost will be $12 per class. There is also a limit of 10 to the class, but she is willing to split class times if there is a need. Or, if you don't mind not having as much one on one, and the class had more than 20 students, she'd drop the cost to $8 per student, with the same family discount. 

I would need to have a confirmation/commitment of people doing this class by Labor Day since class would start that same week!

Jessica

Here is what she wrote in her e-mail:

”Art Class 2012-2013

Hi, I'm Melissa Pritchett. I took private art lessons in junior high school, started out as a visual art major in college, and have a degree in Interior Design from Auburn. While home schooling my three children, I started teaching them art lessons. Their cousins joined us, then a few others, and as a result, I've been teaching art lessons to children and their parents for about ten years now.

As a result of this class, I want you to realize that anyone can learn to draw and paint, to recognize the value of these skills, and to have things you can take home with you to enjoy or give as gifts. Along the way, you will find that we incorporate vocabulary, art history, nature study and even math into these lessons!

Classes will begin September 7, at one o'clock, at $12 per lesson.
---------------------------------
Our first semester schedule should run as follows:

September 7

September 14

October 5

October 12

November 2

November 9

November 30

December 7
-------------------------------
We will be drawing the first semester and painting the second. You should bring to the first class:

Drawing pencil(s)

Colored pencils(optional)

Sketch pad (about a 9 x12)

Eraser

Blending stump

Fine point sharpie

Looking forward to seeing you!”

Baldwin Co/Mobile: Jennifer Rogers

Jennifer Rogers 
Baldwin Co/Mobile 

Hello Everyone! I'm so excited to be a part of Everest and a new Activity Coordinator to the Baldwin/Mobile area. I have been married to my soul-mate and love of my life, Shane, for almost 11 years. I'm a full time wife and mom and also work as a RN from home for Children's of Alabama in Birmingham part time. We relocated to the Elberta (Perdido Beach) area of Baldwin county May 2011 after the April 2011 tornado outbreak that took our home. The move was supposed to be temporary but...we fell in love with the area and locals, so now we are here to stay. We have a small farm and raise free range chickens (all of which are named) but are getting dairy goats, rabbits and a pig. We are self sustainable, organic growing, non-GMO, heirloom year round farmers. We absolutely love to harvest our fresh fruits and vegetables especially knowing from seed to table where it's been.

On to homeschooling: I'm relatively new to it and this is our first official year with a cover school. We are an unschooling family with curriculum and educational materials available if requested. We learn through living life everyday. I have a 6 year old son and 3 year old daughter. We love the great outdoors, nature hikes, camping, four wheeler riding, raising livestock, swimming, boating, and farming. We also love trying new things, meeting new people, fun playdates, and field trips. I'm going to have activities on both sides of the bay so that Baldwin and Mobile families have an opportunity to participate while still being close to home. I look forward to meeting local moms as well as those who travel through the area.
