Our class painting!

Just wanted to post some pictures, as promised, of our wonderful (and very colorful!!) Omanut painting! Everyone worked so hard to complete the canvas and there was a lot of compromising and decision making done by them in the process.
We started out with the canvas "halved"-- One side for Tuesday Omanut and one side for Wednesday Omanut. Each class decided on the main symbol that they were going to draw, (as well as what other symbols were important to them) and then paint, using acrylics. At the finish, the painting looks remarkably cohesive and makes me so proud! All our students got the opportunity to put their ideas on canvas-- and that is what makes it extra great. :)

The finished canvas is now on display in the hallway, but here are 2 of our wonderful Avodah TA's, holding it up so you can see how big it is! (36"x 48")

Please stop by and admire our painting in person!

We are now moving on to learning about passages in the Torah, specifically Genesis.
Omanut students will be sketching out, designing and then using their medium of choice to show their understanding of Genesis 1:1-2:3 in seven separate small canvases each. We will be sending those home for you to display once they are complete.

We look forward to as many students as possible attending our Omanut Field Trip on Sunday, October 27th. Please look in your inboxes for the Evite invitation and respond as soon as you can with how many family members will be joining us at the Contemporary Jewish Museum.

Until next time!
B'Shalom,
