Welcoming and Entering
Part of Building Bridges
Materials for Activity
- Images of Muslim art from the Arab world
Preparation for Activity
- Visit Stock Photos or Google Images and print a few Arabic or Muslim mosaic designs and examples of calligraphy. You might also visit a public library to find books on Arabic calligraphy and mosaics.
- Note: Do not print calligraphic images of the word "Allah." To casually discard the printed name of God is offensive in Islam; to be respectful you must burn the printed item.
Description of Activity
Youth view the Arabic art forms of calligraphy and mosaics.
Invite participants to view the books or print outs you have obtained.
