Art Buffs needed.

[twinsetandpearls]

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?

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?

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

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

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?

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?

this sort of thing? God is represented by the ray of lght?

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

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

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.

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

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!

that is fantastic tinygang. How cultured you all are

I love old HB he's fab, but it's not the kind of thing I'd hang in the lounge iykwim
