**If you download this you will be able to see reference information for the sculptures in the notes part.
This PowerPoint provides examples of Wire and Panty Hose Sculptures.This PowerPoint includes a pre-lesson to for some analysis and reflection of other artist’s abstract work. After showing my students the PowerPoint and having a discussion about Abstract Art, I would demonstrate how to actually create the sculpture (the instructions are in the PowerPoint). The students would then spend the next few days creating and painting their sculptures.
Lilcreativekids visited pop art and artists from different parts of the world and from different periods. Pop art is meant for kids as the art is colorful and bold and it is simple paintings of objects that we see around.

Graphic Design study of symbols across culture. Focus on the symbolic style of Aboriginal Art and their cultural example of living in harmony with Nature. Students researched 10 ways to change our lifestyles to respect the Earth and designed symbols for modern practices in Aboriginal graphic styles. They transferred their designs onto possum skin cloaks - which was the practice of Aboriginal clans of New Sotuh Wales. They etched designs of natural surroundings and important life events into possum skin cloaks that they kept for all of their lives. We imported Australian possum skins from New Zealand (an invasive species on that island) and used the pelts to replicate the possum skin cloajs project at the Melbourne Museum. The modern cloak that we sewed represents the practices with which we need to wrap around our lives to respsct and preserve our planet.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.
