This is the picture that I painted that day in class that we painted. I LOVED that class period. Honestly, I was bragging to everyone after wards about how much I loved it. I got to paint for class! How awesome is that?
Now, I'm not much of an artist. Actually, I'm not an artist at all. But this project was really refreshing for me.
The Book of Joel is one I've never actually read all the way through, so this was real nice. I loved spending that time with God and getting to grow deeper in Him simply by being silent, digesting His word, and painting.
I really enjoyed not being graded on this either. We got our own ideas that we wanted from the Book of Joel, and we could just go with it. No rules except no talking.
It was wonderful.
Learning more and more from this class,

I loved the painting project too!!! I don't believe my painting is as nice as yours but it was definitely fun. I liked taking a break from lectures and discussions and instead being able to just chill out and paint from what we had learned and read.
ReplyDeleteI really love this painting! I think it really captures a part of what the book of Joel was saying. Why you didn't turn the picture to vertical... the world may never know. Lol.
ReplyDeleteWow Anna Marie, your painting totally blows mine away. Mine is pretty bad actually but its is the process that counts right!? I loved your thought, "I loved spending that time with God and getting to grow deeper in Him simply by being silent, digesting His word, and painting."
ReplyDeleteYou're painting is a great depiction of the Book of Joel. I can tell a lot of feeling and emotion was put into it. Great way of expressing God's love through the arts!
ReplyDeleteLove you picture Anna Marie I had never read Joel all the way through either. I could definitely relate on how you said as you began to digest it in silence you understood it more.
