Work of the Level III Child - Flood Typology

6/26/2019

The following pictures show some of the work children in the Level III Atrium chose to do after our communal study of the Flood (Genesis 6-9). Having read the Scripture together in which we discussed individual verses and ideas, the children were invited to think typologically about this passage. We made a list of some of the most important people, places, and objects in the account and then they wrote their thoughts on how these pointed to the moment of Redemption (the time of Jesus' life on earth through today). When we gathered back together and shared, it was a great gift to enjoy their facility with reading Scripture in a typological way as the early Church Fathers did. Below are some of their notes as well as several examples of their artistic expressions of their thoughts!

The Work of the Level I Child

During the Easter Season, one of the favorite works in the Level I Atrium is the Baptism area. Drawing the Easter Candle and decorating around it is a popular extension as well.
