I am planning my lesson for tomorrow and I need a work of art that represents God in a symbolic way. It needs to have some detail in it as I want them to recreate the pictire from memory in teams before analysing it. Originally thought perhaps Dali or Blake but am getting in a muddle as I am tired

Not the last supper though as I use that for something else.

This?

twinsetandpearls · 06/11/2007 21:55

I had considered that but it is a class full of overly homonal girls and underly mature girls and they will just spend 40 minutes drawing bollocks - quite literally

this?

Lol.

This?

Marina · 06/11/2007 22:03

Ahem, no bollocks in my picture, thanks to masterful perspective from a genius of modern art

twinsetandpearls · 06/11/2007 22:03

lol Marina we are looking at the same picture. I dismissed it as I thought everyone knows that painting so it won't be a challenge - but actually I don't think they will. I may do that one or
another dali one

Aw, I loved that painting so much when I was an impressionable teen.

He was a bit of a one for mad religious paintings, old Holman Hunt this

Sorry, I really ws going to give you a helpful suggestion, but then I saw this

twinsetandpearls · 06/11/2007 22:05

hiding bollocks is a running theme in my lessons as I use a lot of artwork they can just about manage a bare tit and a bottock goes completely unnoticed but penises and testicles are pushing too may buttons for the average year 9

So, er no Eric Gill perhaps?

twinsetandpearls · 06/11/2007 22:06

Had forgotten about Holman Hunt, when I lived in Leeds I was forever going to the gallery to gaze at their Hunt picture.

Do you think they would try and rhyme it with the c word though?

I may use that in my next lesson Megalegs as I have amassed a collection of pictures in which God is not obviosly there.

OP posts:
twinsetandpearls · 06/11/2007 22:10

I had never heard Eric Gill but have now educated myself - perhaps not for year 9 though.

Oh it takes me back - I did alot of this sort of thing for my teaching degree.

Glad I found you a useful one

twinsetandpearls · 06/11/2007 22:12

I have just been reading about Eric Gill's life story on Wikpedia

I do like this part of my job but I am very tired.

twinsetandpearls · 06/11/2007 22:13

I am trying to think of a scheme of work that I can drop "The Scapegoat" into.

OP posts:
twinsetandpearls · 06/11/2007 22:25

I think I will use a Blake

How about Hieronymus Bosch. He's usually good with this kind of thing. Scary too if you look at the detail
This little beauty covers everything Heaven, Hell the lot!
