Overview
To finish off our semester of studying Art throughout the Bible, we finished with the most logical place: Revelations. Revelations is a very graphic book, both of the horrible and beautiful. Students shared from the passages they were to find of descriptions of heaven. We focused in on heaven's walls (from Revelations 21), that is made from 12 different precious stones. We talked about how these stones relate to the 12 stones that were on the OT priests breastplate to represent the 12 tribes of Israel; we learned the fascinating fact that this is where the 12 birthstones came from.
Project
We took the classic paper snowflake craft for each student to create their own unique snowflake. Students learned how to make their cut-outs based on the initials of their names. They then put the color of their birthstone into the snowflake using a cool tie-dye/watercolor effect using markers and water.
