Art Class

Spring 2025 Art Class

Aloha SBH Parents,

Thank you for showing an interest in my afterschool art class. We started this class in the Fall of 2023, and it has been a sweet joy getting to know this SBH community by way of your budding artists! If your child could not take art class last semester, they are welcome to take it this semester. (As a mom of four kids, I know how busy schedules become.)

My bio is here, but I have had the honor to teach alongside Father Mark and Deacon Ben for many years. Also, a handful of the parents at SBH were my former elementary art students! Yes, I am dating myself. (Gulp!)

How fun it is to teach my former students’ children. I guess I’m an artistic academic grandmother.

WHO: Your creative keiki and budding artist(s) – ages 6-12

WHAT: It is my goal to inspire a love for our Creator’s beautiful creations via line, shape or form. This younger group will be exploring:

  • The Elements of Art: (line, shape, form, color, value, texture, and space)

  • We will dabble in both wet and dry mediums: drawing, painting, clay, collage, and printmaking.

    I supply all art materials.

  • I will also be teaching basic color theory by way of color palette selection: primary, secondary,

    warm, cool, neutrals and values

  • Each project will average approximately 3 – 4 weeks, which is very classical in methodology.

    We will most likely complete only 3 or 4 projects per semester.

WHEN: Classes will meet every Wednesday from 2:30pm-3:30pm (after SBH Math Study) starting Wednesday, January 15th in the Mango Room at Daybreak Church.

Here is the full schedule of all 15 classes:

  • January: 15, 22, 29

  • February: 5, 12, 19, 26

  • March: 5, 19, 26

  • April: 2, 9, 16, 23, 30

*Please sign up your student by Monday January, 13th.

COST: $300 for Spring Semester.

Full amount must be paid prior to first class on January 15th (We can make arrangements for 2 installments, if needed).

*15 classes x $20/class = $300 for Spring semester. Cash or check (sealed envelope with your child’s name on the outside, made payable to “Cheri Firth”), or Venmo (@cheri-firth)
