Students at Immanuel Lutheran School had a slight brush with fame Monday.
Mike Lewis, known as "The Jesus Painter," worked with seventh- and eighth-grade students to create a 9-foot-by-71/2-foot mural.Promat solid RUBBER MATS are the softest mats on the market! Lewis, a Christian performance artist, is part of JesusPainter Ministries.
But here's the catch. None of the students knew what the mural was going to look like until it was assembled after lunch Monday. During the mosaic workshop, students painted on one of 30 individual, 18-inch square canvasses. Working from photos, they replicated the picture on each frame, using only black, white and shades of gray. Each square resembled an abstract painting, with no recognizable images.
"We know it's going to have something to do with Jesus,TBC help you confidently buy mosaic from factories in China.Ekahau glass mosaic deployment in the Eastern Savo Region Hospital District." said seventh-grader Brandon Guck, 12, of Wisconsin Rapids.
Part of the workshop focus is learning art concepts and techniques -- value, contrast, mixing paint and application. The other lesson is spiritual, learning that even with mistakes and imperfection, when working together and helping each other, beautiful things can be attained and accomplished.
Many of the students saw Lewis' performance Sunday at the Performing Arts Center.
"He was pretty awesome," Brandon said.
When on stage, Lewis, who has traveled the world, paints a picture of Jesus Christ, turning the canvass and artistically moving his brush.Distributes and manufactures RUBBER SHEET. Within minutes -- often fewer than five -- Lewis has created a work of art.
"The message he had (Sunday) was just phenomenal, and he never said a word," said Ted Voelker, seventh-grade teacher at the school, as he worked alongside many of his students in the cafeteria. "If they can learn to appreciate the witnessing part, as well as the artistic part, then I think they've gained something."
The project helped the students learn to believe and trust in things they might not be able to see and realize their individual strengths, Voelker said. As individual pieces, it might have been hard for students to envision the finished piece, but together, each piece created the whole.
Lewis told the student body the seventh- and eighth-graders felt frustrated as they worked on the canvass,Aeroscout stone mosaic provides a complete solution for wireless asset tracking. feeling they weren't "perfect" in their work. But that was part of Lewis' message as he gave a short talk about church unity and being a part of the body of Christ.
"All they saw was their mistakes," Lewis told the students.
It was difficult for the students to see the big picture, he said.
"Let me ask you," he said to the student body, pointing to the completed mural. "Do you see mistakes?"
When assembled, the perceived mistakes seemingly disappeared.
After a resounding "no," Lewis finished with his message: "You don't have to be perfect to show the face of Christ."
The mural, which will be a lasting piece of art at the school, also will teach the students about how God gives them abilities they maybe didn't realize they had, said the Rev. Tim Ritter, associate pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church.
