I need an art and RE activity any ideas

[twinsetandpearls]

Each department lays on an activity for the children not going on trips. We are linking art and RE, any ideas?

[morningpaper]

drawing icons
brass rubbing

that sort of thing?

[lilyloo]

stained glass windows with tissue paper

[stitch]

mosaic tiles.
depends on the relgion you are doing. but every religion has lots of art associated withit. jusst do something with that.

[twinsetandpearls]

I thought of icons myself but was not sure how to do them, wanted something very modern and up to date. Perhaps drawing icons of their icons if that makes sense.

[morningpaper]

Islamic patterns? i.e. stuff which is geometric/no animals or people

[twinsetandpearls]

I am open to any religion , they study with us the six world faiths.

[MyDingaling]

Rangoli patterens
Islamic tiles using clay

[morningpaper]

icons - you could get sheets of MDP or something like that, paint with acrylic and use gold leaf?

[morningpaper]

MDF

[twinsetandpearls]

Would have to ask the art department about what clay they have left. We had some but we used it all earlier in the year.

[morningpaper]

or small sturdy cardboard

[morningpaper]

islamic tiles - you could use potatoes

[twinsetandpearls]

I could ask the tech department if they have anything.

[twinsetandpearls]

I don;t get the potatoes

[KatyMac]

How long do you have?

I made mosaic with broken tiles/pottery etc

[jemimapotts]

Place of worship junk model?

[twinsetandpearls]

Dp has said we don't we do icons of modern day saints.

[twinsetandpearls]

I have some real icons at home I can bring in that someone bought me from russia.

[windygalestoday]

the good samaritan story and then hands saying different ways to help each other?

[morningpaper]

I was thinking of repetitive paterns with potato prints

but icons good, esp. if you have some

[twinsetandpearls]

right we are doing the modern day saints icons. Head of department loves that idea. We do shrines already jemima which the kids love which is not too far away from your idea.

[twinsetandpearls]

I like that idea windygales will pinch that for an actual lesson.

Any ideas if where I could get images on the net for inspiration from.

[windygalestoday]

sorry twinny.....i just do it with younger children so we draw around hands.....hows your house sale going??

[twinsetandpearls]

I meant images of the icons. We will just draw round hands, even big kids like that!

Gave up selling and have rented it out.
