• Illuminated Bible Art - (Grades 4 & Up) This class covers the history of the illuminated Bible. We learn
about colors, numbers, and motifs that were important to the Hebrew tradition. Then, we move on to
symbols of the early Church and from there move on to Ethiopian, Armenian, Byzantine, Celtic, Ottoman
German, French, Spanish, Italian and European Hebrew designs in illuminated manuscripts. We also learn
in the new medium of gelatos, and some fun Bible journaling techniques. Students use what they’ve
learned to decorate their own journaling Bible that is both amazing to look at and full of meaning. This is a

new! Instructors: Teresa Hemphill Recommended Donation of $12 per weekly class
