Advancement notice- Biblically Inspired Art project

10th December 2022 11 30am to 5pm in The Oak Room.

No artistic talent needed, just come with heads and hearts open, come prepared to be led and inspired by scripture and the Holy Spirit.

All materials provided- oils, acrylics, watercolours, boards, canvases, paper, pastels, crayons, craft material and finger paints (yes really!)

The day will included brief tuition on the materials, how to use them and what effects you might achieve.

Simple lunch- homemade soup, bread and cakes.

Tea and coffee facilities throughout the day.

After lunch, the prayerful reading of a passage from the Bible through three times with prayerful active listening.

Sit with any words, phrases or images that strike you and use that to inspire your art.

It really doesn’t matter if you draw match-stalk men and match-stalk cats and dogs.

It really doesn’t matter if you doodle with the finger paints (when else do grown ups get the chance to finger paint!). Let God and scripture lead you and inspire you.

We will spend the last 20 minutes sharing (not obligatory) what inspired us and how we tried to portray that image or emotion.
