How do people express their spiritual ideas through the arts?

LO: I can show, using the right words, that I understand how different art forms can express Christian beliefs

Give a selection of colours and feelings ask the children to match them in the way they feel they want to or have coloured paper around the room, say a feeling and children respond by standing next to that colour. Try these: CALM / ANGRY / THOUGHTFUL / WISE / TROUBLED / EXCITED / ANXIOUS / SORRY / GLAD / SAD / FRIENDLY / JEALOUS / YOUNG / GROWING / COSY / SCARED
 Children choose a colour each and collect words they associate with it, write a short poem based on that colour.

Look at scenes from churches from around the world depicting images from the bible. Focus on the Nativity and ask the children to sketch their own image from the Nativity, focussed on any aspect they feel would most express the emotions in the story.
