We are all so different and yet we were all made by this same perfect Creator!
I did this art project with my Art Co-op this past school year. It was such an eye opener to me about how different we all really are. Not that I didn't know it, but this really proved it!!
You will need:
- large paper
- some type of spot light
- pencil, pen, or marker
- painters tape (low adhesive tape)
- magazines
- glue
- scissors
Just seeing the different shaped heads, noses, lips, and chins was very fun to see. The kids loved sharing them with each other!!
The kids carefully cut out the silhouette and took it home to make a collage of things they like. They used magazines to cut out pictures of things they liked. After gluing on their pictures they had to cut the edges of their silhouette again so you could see the shape of the head. (cut from the back side at this point)
When they came back to the next class I was amazed to see so many different projects! Everyone had different things to show and tell about! Even the way they organized (or not) showed more about their differences! They all looked wonderful in their own awesome way!
I know this project is not as Catholic as I typically create, but it was such a great project to show God's creativity I had to share it!! It would work well if you are talking about creation, so kids can see how God can have an unending imagination -for He created everything from nothing, from the tiniest germ to the tallest mountain, and all the different plants and animals, even down to our own personality.
No one is more creative than God!!
Praise be to God!!
God Bless!!
