For some children drawing can be intimidating but decorating words is easy. We use word-based art when teaching a concept or learning a memory verse. By writing out the memory verse a child meditates on scripture and learning it becomes easier. These memory verse cards become treasures as they are taken home and posted on bedroom walls or the fridge for everyone in the family to know and learn.
A grade 2-3 art work based on an illustration from a Children's Bible picture book. Every fish, person and boat is made separately on cardstock and glued to the poster board painted with the background.
A grade K-1 class made a poster of Jesus the Good Shepherd who comes to seek the lost. The children put 99 thumb prints on a pre-painted background with acrylic paint. One boy drew and coloured the figure of Jesus with the 100th sheep in his arms.

Four Pentecost banners
These four Pentecost banners were made using a technique found on the website That Artist Woman. They were made with white fabric, blue Elmers school gel glue, and acrylic paint.
Ten Commandments unit
A wall hanging we made after our Ten Commandments unit. In groups of two the children glued paper onto wooden board and then added a number and what the commandment meant. For example, #3: Respect God's Name, #6: Nurture Life and #7: Marriage is Special.
