Presentation transcript:

So, does a beautiful world mean there is a wonderful God? What do you think? Some people say: It is a beautiful world. I think someone must have made it. I think that was God. Surely the world could not be an accident. It is full of love. I thank God for this lovely planet. But other people say: The world is lovely, but I think it does not prove god is real. I think the world came to be through long gradual changes.

In a Y3 / 4 class, the pupils made lego models to show one day of the story from Genesis 1. This is day 3: the dry land and the trees.

This is day 2: separating the waters from the land.

Artistic Guesswork You have seen Kate Neal’s first five canvases, showing her vision of the first five days of creation. Kate has not been thinking about science and religions, or creation and evolution. Her pictures respond to the text of the bible story for itself. How do you think she will paint the 6th day, when animals and humans were created? Or the seventh day, when God rested?

Being creative with the creation story We run an art competition for school RE called ‘Art in Heaven’ Pupils use Biblical story – and other faith stories – to show an insight artistically The sacred text sets the imagination loose

Day 6: the creation of humans and animals
