Noah's Ark -  Artistic Activity with Kids

Like every year, I enjoy to volunteer to some kind of activity with kids. It is a custom almost to take part in Group hospitality, for some kind of activity,in the afternoon, everyone in his/her turn, and it is chosen by the family, who host.( Of course it is not a must, but a choice). At the beginning of this school year (Sep), I knew I'm going to do with a group of kids from Yarin's class the Noah's ark.(The same as I did with Saar by the way )... SO, at Wednesday, January 2nd 2008...Few kids from Yarin's class came to visit us , in the afternoon to make the Noha's Ark. I was instructed them a bit, and gave them the materials...but they had of- course the free choice of colours, and creation,according to the biblical story, that they learned at school, from their teacher, Edna. The upper shot, is the Noah's Ark ready,taken on our the window. The bottom shot, show you the group of kids that were visiting us. From right to left : Yarin, my son, sticking the last doctor's sticks :-) on the Ark. Michaela holding her giraffe, Shon holding a tiger that he did... Lee and, Iftach, both with brushes and blues. Copyrights to these wonderful kids. Later today or tomorrow,I'll post more photos from this project in my blog.

Fantastic idea Nira and great images!!!

David Holcombe 07 Jan 2008

What a nice idea. We had our kids build all sorts of things: Eiffel Tower, St. Louis Cathedral (New Orleans), air planes. It was always a lot of fun and it brought the children together, while allowing them to enjoy one another. My wife has taught children to may pysanki (Ukrainian Easter eggs) for 14 years. Keep up the good work.

Izabella Pavlushko 05 Jan 2008

You have a very good tradition ... i' m sure that these children will remember these kind of activity for long. Children see all around with other eyes unlike adult and that's why they create work more colorful and brighter. Their creation is juct beautifil !!!!!!!!!!!

Artist Reply: Dear Anneke..thanks so much for visiting our ARK..Indeed it contains sticks :-)...this was the reason I bought those sticks actually...and while those Doctor's sticks were on the table waiting for the kids to come, I had that idea of using them for more purposes :-)..Sunday here is a start of a new working week..Enjoy your weekend..mine is almost off... ;-)

Alberto D'Assumpcao 05 Jan 2008

With artists like those, Who don't want to have a studio?... Splendid, Nira!!! And you give me a splendid subject to explore: Noah's ark!!!

Artist Reply: Hello Alberto..it was done in our apartment, actually...I asked Yarin, if he wishes to do this work at home or in studio..he said..at home, although, he love to come work at the studio in vacations....thanks so much my friend...And...YES..Its a great subject to deal with. Noah's ark....Good luck !!

DAVID OLSEN 05 Jan 2008

Nira, I've thought about attempting a painting of Noah's ark, but always backed away because I thought it would take so much time. The group effort produced something really wonderful here. You always have something interesting to share!

Artist Reply: Hello David...Time, must not considered when ART, is about to happen. Some works ,TRUE Can take so much time...the end result worth the efforts and time, it takes...DO IT..!!...At least get started...I also started projects,that are important for me to do..I have not enough time, so I put it a side, but with the knowing, that I will finish it sooner or later. Thanks for your visit here and comments...enjoy your weekend ,Nira
