Art - Pathfinders and Navigators
Tuesday, January 5, 2016
Overview
Jewelry is a vast art, that can be made from a variety of materials and accessorize various body parts. Students were challenged to think of different references made to jewelry throughout the Bible: some of the examples given were the golden earrings collected from the Israelites to create the golden calf, or the ring the father gave the Prodigal son. I brought in some Eastern jewelry to show what some of the jewelry from that culture may have encompassed, and how it's different from the jewelry we know. We looked at photos of ancient Israel jewelry, and talked about the significance of jewelry in that time.
Project
Using wire and a fun bead, students twisted and created their choice of a ring or bracelet. As always, we learned to appreciate the patience and skill of the jewelers who do this fine art!
