Art: Pathfinders & Navigators
Tuesday, October 27
Project
We began our class by starting our project right away so we had time to finish it! We once again took the more simpler route to gain a brief understanding of metal art. Using simple supplies of leaves, aluminum foil, cardboard, paint, and steel wool, students created beautiful metal art that looks like we spent hours of time engraving it! (Parents, these pieces will look amazing in your home if you frame them)
Overview
Different types of metal art and metal work is apparent throughout the Bible. Today we focused in on a metal artisan who we know by name: Huram. Huram was skilled in bronze work, and was hired by Solomon for the building of the extravagant Temple. The detail of his work, as told in 1 Kings 7, gave us an appreciation of all the time and work he put into his skill.
