On Friday, April 11, at 4:00pm CT I livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook for an hour. I created an original image from scratch in Procreate on my iPad Pro. Bring your art supplies and create with me, or simply sit back and allow my creative process tp be a contemplative practice for you.
This session focuses our attention on the story of Jesus’ crucifixion. We remember this horrible event each year on Good Friday. In this session I begin the story with the Tree of Life planted in the Garden of Delight (Eden). I start there because the Gospels tell us that the curtain that separated the world from the Holy of Holies in the Temple was torn open from top to bottom when Jesus died on the cross. The early Christians believed that Jesus’ death re-opened the free access to the Holy Place, the Garden of Delight, the Tree of Life.
Here is the final image.
Here is a dramatic synopsis of the session.
A Cartoonist’s Guide to Holy Week
Explore Holy Week in Each Gospel
Present and read through the story of Jesus’ final week from all four Gospels in graphic novel style with this mega pack. It is fascinating to compare and contrast how similar each version of the story is to each other and how many subtle differences exist.
This download includes:
- a PowerPoint with 378 slides and
- a folder with 378 .jpg images,
- plus a PDF including 37 pages of full-color illustrations.
Most Fridays I go live at 4:00pm Central Time to spend about an hour working on an art project. This is my chance to invite you into my studio, talk about the fusion of art and theology, explore spirituality and scripture through visual art, nerd out about the Bible and Visual art, and just hang out with you.
