The japanese page is this page.
Our project is to make a print of Madonna and child.
Sister cam to talk to us about the 3 different images of the Mary which we will be sketching.
For each image there is a different meaning.
For example, in how she holds her feet.
One represents the state when she stepped on a snake.
This shows the strength in her mind to overcome the devil.
The second has her stepping over water which is likely to represent a scene from the fountain of Lourdes.
After listening to the meaning we selected an image we wanted to sketch.
Trying to show the strong, tender bond between Mary and the baby Jesus is the theme of our project.
We need to think about how to show facial expressions, what colours to use, and the composition of our picture.
To be able to show the feeling of prayer is important.
Some people thought about behind the statue.
You could use the coloured image to produce a stained glass window.
Walking past we had some words of encouragement from home-room teacher Mr.H.
“That’s pretty good! Do your best!’
He said kindly.
We have some great work.
Next time we’ll use a chisel to carve our work.
Let’s keep working with a feeling of good prayer within us!
