Identity

IDENTITY – Art Journey Through The Book Of John

As a group this year, we are studying the Book of John.  What 1:One Art Group is all about, is taking what we learn from God's Word and creating art for God’s Glory!  We make it a point that we are not simply "illustrating Bible stories" but letting God teach and inspire us.  You are encouraged to study on your own, and we also are open to studying together.  (please let us know if you are interested in a weekly Bible study)

What the fourth gospel (John) is all about is IDENTITY.  It is the revelation of who Jesus is.  As you study, ask these two questions;

1-“What does this say about who Jesus is?” and

2-“What does this say about who I am?”

The Gospel of John can be divided into 2 parts.  We would like you to focus on producing at least 2 pieces of art this year.  One for each part of the book.  You may be inspired to do many more & that is great!  You may even choose to do a series for each part.  These pieces will be eligible for submission into our 2^nd annual Art Show February 2013!  (more on that in another post)

Chapters 1-12 of John are called “The Book of Signs” Jesus revealing himself(June - August)

Chapters 13-21 are called “The Book of Glory” His purpose          (September - December)

 

For our next meeting: Through studying the first part of the book of John & taking notes, begin to write/sketch ideas for your first art piece.  Start working on it!  Bring whatever you have to the meeting (July 1) and be ready to share with the group. Don’t be intimidated! Our group is open to anyone, any skill level, and any art medium! Our goal is to encourage & lift you up and grow together as the artists God called us to be.
