🍂🌳Our students have been hard at work mastering the art of watercolor painting!
They created stunning art by painting a vibrant watercolor sky on a round circle. Once dry, they sketched their leafless tree onto the sky using a black marker, giving it a beautiful contrast. The final touch? A metallic gold or silver trim to make their autumn scene truly shine!

Petals, Pastels, and Pots! 🌸🎨
Our students dove into the world of Mums (Chrysanthemums) using a simple pot and circle template.
They created a beautiful, soft-textured base by coloring the pot with soft pastels to give it a 3-D effect.
Then came the fun part: they used their fingers to paint the circle with hundreds of dots! This dot-painting technique created the illusion of a bushy, colorful Mum.
It was a great lesson in texture and color!

The Daughters of the King devotional group talked about the 3 types of fear: holy fear, natural fear, and sinful fear. We discussed how we are called to holy fear - an awe filled respect for God that causes us to see his sweetness, goodness, beauty, mercy, & grace. We wrote down some of our personal fears to remind us that God is greater than any of our fears and that when we look to him, we will be strengthened.
