Prophetic Art
Welcome to Prophetic Art where the heart of the Lord speaks to you as you create. You don't need art skills nor a plan. Just begin with media such as paper and pencil, chose a color and begin making movement. As you work a picture will form and from there you let your imagination run. At the end of each class, leave your art work with Amy and she will pray over what the Lord is speaking to your heart and through prayer and backing it up with Biblical foundations she will translate your project on paper to give you the deeper meaning.
We will pray before and after each class. The idea is to have fun and learn that God is everywhere and worship doesn't always mean sitting in a church every Sunday. God wants to speak to you always and through art Amy can help you decipher what He's trying to say. So come play in the paint!!
Instructor: Amy Rubeck Ages 12 to Adult
Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8 pm June 8 – 29, cost: $50
