Fine Arts Department |

What is Fine Arts? The purpose of the LAH Fine Arts program is to provide a time and place for scheduled classes and activities in the areas of Drama, Music, and Art. Unlike Shared Learning, Fine Arts is a drop-off program for students in grades 4-12, who demonstrate an exemplary ability, and desire to independently follow all of the guidelines and intents of the Fine Arts program. Parents are always welcome, but are not required to attend class sessions. Students may be dropped off at the Fine Arts location at 9:00 am and picked up at Noon.
Fine Arts classes are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Heritage Baptist Temple located at the corner of Brice and North Highway 5 in Lebanon. The fee to participate in the Fine Arts program is $16.00 per family each semester. This fee covers the expense of building rent, photocopies, administrative office supplies, etc. Some classes will require parents to purchase supplies. Supplies requested by the class teacher will be listed on the class schedule. Classes may also have a fee to cover the expense of supplies purchased by the class teacher. See the Fine Arts links below to view the class schedule and enrollment form. For more information, contact donnel_lah@charter.net
A Fine Arts Presentation Night is coordinated at the end of the school year for students to perform musical selections, drama skits, and display completed art projects. This is an exciting family night for the students and parents to recognize and appreciate the efforts and skills achieved.
Parent teachers are not compensated for their teaching, allowing talents from within the group to be utilized. In gratitude to class teachers and assistants, the Fine Arts enrollment fee is waived for families who offer instruction and assistance in the Fine Arts program. Occasionally, professional instructors are invited to teach a Fine Arts class. The fees for the classes taught by these instructors reflect the fee charged by the instructor. Anyone wanting to volunteer to teach a Fine Arts class should contact the program director.
Fine Arts Drama Department
The purpose of the LAH Drama Department is to provide opportunities in classes, stage productions, and other performances in order to teach the students presentation skills that will enable them to be effective, lifelong communicators of the message of the Kingdom of God. The Drama Department will promote activities that teach acting skills through memorization, public speaking, self-expression, knowledge of sets, props, and sound equipment, posture, poise, and voice projection. Students will experience teamwork, responsibility, commitment, and wholesome fun. Drama strives to present productions that provide an uplifting, wholesome, and moral message for audiences that may deal with issues society faces and give alternative solutions, minister for the Kingdom of God, promote the idea of homeschooling, and showcase the abilities and talents of homeschooled students. Most Drama rehearsals take place outside of the Fine Arts sessions. See the rehearsal schedule link posted below. This enables the Drama students to have adequate rehearsal time for the production. Students participating in the Drama productions must be enrolled in the Fine Arts program and attend the third hour Drama Club class. The Drama Department exists because of volunteers contributing time, energy, talent, and monetary resources to the effort. Cooperation in working in a group, commitment, dependability, and good attitudes are required by all participants to make a production successful. In order to participate in the Drama production, a parent from each family must commit to serve in a volunteer position. If unable to serve in one of the volunteer positions, a participation fee of $100 must be paid at the time of audition. All students are required to participate in a Drama fundraiser for the production regardless of parental involvement choice. This year, the LAH Fine Arts Drama troupe will be performing The Lady Vanishes written by Ethel Lina White, in which two people investigate the disappearance of an old lady from a train, only to discover a plot to pretend she was never on the train. This comedy-thriller is probably one of Alfred’s Hitchcock’s most popular films of the 1930s. The production will be performed on April 17th and 18th at the Cowan Civic Center in Lebanon; an admission will be charged. The following links are PRINTABLE Drama forms: Fine Arts 2007-08 Calendar
