Cross Art Project
This idea has been moved to and expanded upon in our Empty Tomb and Resurrection Art Workshop Ideas forum.
For teaching purposes:
The choice of colors, changes in colors, and changes in brush strokes can represent the Easter themes of dark to light, grey to colorful, sin to salvation, despair to hope, death to life.
These contrasts can be explored and discussed using paint on newspaper PRIOR to painting on the canvas. A teacher can paint an example and ask students "what idea or meaning in the Easter story is spoken by my choice of dark paint, colorful paint?"
