Why Do We Make Art?
We make art to honor God who created
all beautiful things.
We work as much as we can in gold, silver, and jewels (we use the sparkliest
imitations we can find). The most important investment we make is in gold
pens, which we use to sign our artwork, because our names are written in
gold in the book of life.
Our art takes two basic forms in these lessons: bulletin boards, and front
and back covers that can be inserted in three-ring view binders.
Find a bulletin board in as prominent a place in the church as you can:
decorating a board is a wonderful opportunity for children to share their
faith with the congregation. The instructions for the bulletin boards are
fairly general, because you will need to size the art to the size and shape
of your display area. The children may be reluctant to leave their art at
church at first, because they like to take the things they make home, but
as they come to realize that the bulletin boards are their faith statement,
they become very excited about sharing them with the congregation.
The view binders are an easy, transportable way to display cover art. The
children become very aware of the day and season and like to show the congregation
what they have made as they leave Sunday School. The lesson for the day
goes inside the binder; covers from previous days and seasons become dividers
in transparent page holders.
