Icon Project
We studied icons, diptychs, and triptychs in pottery I. Students researched to discern a saint they had an affinity for and wanted to create an icon about. Many students chose to use clay, but some used found materials to create their icon. The Skutt Catholic media center has many fine books for visual examples. I learn something new everyday, and with this project I discovered the Monastery of St Catherine's in the Sinai. Look at the incredible religious art items that are part of their collection and our Catholic faith. For the class assinment, my students could choose a traditional approach to the icon assignment, or their own unique modern interpretation.
