Creative Writing and Journalism

Are you excited about being a writer?  This is the class for you.  Students put together a digital writing portfolio that includes their best work.  They learn how to do editorials, news interviews, short stories, screen play writing, copyright laws, poetry, how to get their work published and much more.  Lessons are through the Red Oak Academy and are recorded for further use at home.  In writing, I’ve had the awesome experience of writing books, being published and self publishing, writing for newspapers and magazines (I even had a live interview with Jerry Lewis), and holding an American Press Pass for several years.

Just like all these chairs are different, each special needs child is different. I hope you are blessed and encouraged by this article.

INTERNET ART/WRITING CLASSES STARTING IN JANUARY!

The children and I have done art with Sharon for three terms now.  She’s wonderful and so passionate about teaching people of all ages.  I can definitely see an improvement in the art abilities within our household due to her guidance!  So, if you are interested at all, see below for the information.

Sharon Jeffus of Visual Manna offers three on-line art classes for the upcoming term to begin Wednesday January 4, 2012. The on-line classrooms run through the Red Oak Academy WebEx program and are offered at 8:30, 10:30, 1:30 and 2:30 Central USA Time. Cost is $20.00 per month or $100 for all 20 lessons.

The second student in the family is $50.00 and the third is $25.00 if you prepay.   All classes teach the principles and elements of art and art history/appreciation. Students will learn art techniques along with finishing projects. Students will also be given basic writing assignments, completion of which will be optional.

The 8:30 and 10:30 AM class is for students in preschool up to age eight. Maturity matters so you might try this class and then go to the 1:30 class if the lessons aren’t advanced enough. Preschool children would definitely benefit from this class because there is lots of fine motor skill development. The link below contains sample power points of classes.

The 1:30 class is for ages 9 and up. This class is very basic but does include the optional writing assignments. The link below to the power point on texture is a sample lesson for this class.

Advanced Art 2:30-4:00 The Advanced Class can be taken as a regular advanced art class at regular price or an Advanced Placement class for an additional $100. The perspective power point is a sample of the AP classes.

Here’s the link to the power point file:

You can email or contact me for more information.  I can send sample power points, etc for lessons.

By the way, we travel and  would love to come and do a two day camp for your support group in January and February!!!!!!

Internet Art Lessons Starting January 4, 2012

For only 20 dollars a month, you can get internet art lessons. Classes are taught by Sharon Jeffus and friends.
Ages 4-8 Wednesdays at 10:30 central time, little ones enjoy an art class that teaches fine motor skill drawing, painting, sculpting, cutting and pasting techniques, while at the same time teaches basic shapes, literature, all about animals, and uses the internet as a teaching tool. If you miss a class, you get sent the lesson on tape. After you sign up, you get the address at the Red Oak Academy where you can take part in the classes.
Ages 9-12 are at 1:30 central time. (Art Basics) Students learn techniques in linear and atmospheric perspective, watercolor, line drawing, sculpting, pastels, and build pictures using the elements and principles of art. Master artists are included in each session. There is also some creative writing involved with each lesson. Students can ask for a power point to review the lesson if they miss the class.
Ages 13-20 take the Studio Art class for advanced art students. We have guest artists who teach media such as animation and graphic design. Students can try for the Advanced Placement Credit. They can also join the His Lions program, if they agree to come to one of the camps provided by His Lions. Their goal is a digital portfolio.
