PAINTING PEACE & JOY

I recently got to spend time painting with around 60 kids in the children's work at City Church Cambridge. There were two church services, the first group painted about PEACE and the second painting about JOY.

Created with Creative Imaginations

I shared with the children that God made us with creative imaginations. We asked God to take us in our imaginations to somewhere full of his peace (group 1) or joy (group 2) so that we could know these things better. We imagined smells and tastes, colours and shapes, lines and marks.

I then led the children through several layers of mark making in groups, using different tools and techniques that replicate my own paintings. Pen lines, paint squirts, squeegees, hand prints, stamps and stencils.

PEACE

JOY

These beautiful paintings are now on display in the church gallery space for everyone to enjoy.
