I've had to push pause on my current painting and switch gears to finish preperations for a FREE children's art workshop I am leading this Saturday for kids in 1st-6th grade. This event is sponsored by the Lutheran Fine Arts Council of Topeka. We will be making art with all kinds of fun stuff, including Jell-O, Paint, Bubbles, and even the Sun! All the projects are themed around the historical account of "Creation Week" found in Genesis 1. I'm also writing up a page of devotions to accompany the projects. My hope is, as the children are sharing their projects with their parents, the devotions will create an opportunity for families to have Godly conversations and make connections between the artworks and the historical account of creation found only in the Bible. Even though it's going to be an exciting, noisy, messy, sticky, morning of fun and art, I pray that God would work through the experience and reveal himself in the hearts and minds of the children participating.
