Branch Art Activity (Art walk)

The primary was in charge of a branch activity.  We called it a Branch Brunch.
When everyone arrived we had them sit at the tables and draw a picture of Jesus, a teaching of Jesus or a parable.  Pencils and white paper were provided and we went around inviting  young and old to draw their creations.  Any really good ones we would get permission to put on the ward bulletin.

 We had other pictures of Jesus around the room.  After 20 minutes, we sang a song together (hymn books) and separated into 6 groups stationed around the building.  Each group was given a map to follow... for 6 segments.     6 art presenters were given an instruction sheet with 2 paintings (photographs) they were to be familiar with.  Read the scriptures related to the paintings and talk about it asking questions to each group for 5 minutes until the bell rang.  I added some symbolism and some questions to ask... why is his hand pointing that way, where is he looking etc.  We skipped the paintings that were not of Jesus.  We included the branch President with the art in his office.   Because it was Easter we gave  each person a treat bag and a small treat at each station. .

 We ended with a brunch serving mountain man casserole (egg, potato and sausage) cinnamon rolls, oranges, bananas (cheap this week) and milk.  It was really nice and well received.
