Genesis 2:7 (NLT)
"Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person."

Art carries something that does not fade. It carries the mark of its creator...life has been breathed into it. Art is imbued with this life by its creator - in creating art, we imitate our Creator who first breathed life into us.

2nd Grade Project: 6 Line Hand Mandala


What is a mandala? Mandala comes from the Sanskrit meaning "circle". The mandalas we use are exactly that: circles. This design technique contains the students design in an aesthetically pleasing circular shape. In the circles, students will both trace their hands and fill the negative space of the circle with pattern.


 After the the mandala has been filled with pattern students will color their mandala using crayons. The completed mandalas will be cut out so that only the circle of the mandala remains.
