Art - Inspiration from the Bible

Class Overview
God's word is alive and powerful, even as an art inspiration! Deuteronomy 6 has descriptive passages that speak of keeping God's word close to our lives and home: "Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframe of your houses and your gates." We talked a little bit about the history behind these verses, and also talked about art in our homes today. Students then filled out a brainstorming questionnaire to use as inspiration for the projects we will be doing this semester.

Project
We started to talk about our study of Typography, the design and art of words. We did a fun worksheet on different types of lines, and then the four basic styles of shading.

Homework
Select a FONT style that you love. Print off and bring to our next class the entire ABCs (in capital and lowercase letters) of the selected font.
