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 like to take the things they make home, so at first they
may be reluctant to leave their art at church, 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.
