Another early art material for the Atrium consists of a 1/4 sheet of white paper and three colored pencils. Some children come to the Atrium wanting to draw but not yet knowing how to focus their art as prayer. The limited paper and pencils provides an art opportunity for those who truly need it but it also discourages those who are looking for exciting art materials which would become a distraction to prayer. The following illustrations were done early in the year by a kindergarten child who was in his second year in the Atrium. The child had recently been working at the gestures altar on a regular basis.
