Description of Activity
Participants create simple, human- and nature-oriented art work.
As participants enter, invite them sit in the work area and mold a very simple image with clay or create cave-style drawings. Suggest they draw things they think would be important in the life of a person living in a very simple, close-to-the-earth culture. As participants finish, tape their drawings to walls around the room and display their figures on work tables.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
