Amy R. reports from the past!


Margaret S. Paints up a storm!

 I have a wild blueberry bush near my house so I used that for paint, although it didn't mix with the oil so then I tried the honey and it mixed much better! 

Megan F. Paints and Tells!

I painted a triangle with a heart inside of it. This represents, my relationship with my boyfriend and the center of our relationship being Jesus. The triangle has three parts: God, Scott and I. Symbolizing our reliance on God. The heart is a representation of my love for my family, my friends, Scott and most importantly God.

The paintbrush is made out of a twig. I got the twig wet and broke it by twisting it. When twisting the twig the insides frayed maybe the bristles to paint with. I also use the weed to wrap around it to unsure the pieces wouldn’t fall off! I “cave painted” the picture with mud and water.


Amy H. Testifies!

Here's Amy's painting!

Casey G. tells all!

As for the cave painting, it's a picture of my dogs playing in my backyard that mainly consists of mountains. I used a stick as my paintbrush.
 

Haley M shares!


I consider my dog apart of my family so I drew a memory I have of him “hunting” a cicada. I used honey and red mud in my backyard and as a paintbrush I used a leaf and a stick to help spread out the mud.

Lauren S. Rocks the house!

A little explanation of my cave painting: The five stick figures represent myself and my three sisters (the little ones in the middle) and my parents (the big ones on either end.) The elephant represents the strength of our family, and my parents relationship as they have been married 26 years. The mother carrying her baby represents the nurturing that my parents have showed to me and my two sisters.  The 26 dash marks on the top are for my parents 26 years of marriage.  I used charcoal, as mentioned in the book, and then I used raspberries and raspberry juice. The red line underneath the five stick figures represents the unity and bond that connects our family. I made the elephant's feet "bloody" to represent all the hard work my parents put into making our family and their marriage strong.
