Hebrew School Elective in the Library: Art and the Alef Bet
Recently I collaborated with Kitah Vav parent Marcy Kass on her really good idea to teach Art and the Alef Bet. Here are some pictures.
Children from third through sixth grades used books with artistic examples of the Alef Bet, including lettering by Ben Shahn and historic Hebrew manuscripts, to get ideas for making their own Hebrew letters using various materials. There were 8-11 students taking the 45 minute elective and they were absorbed in the process of creating letters. One Hebrew school teaching assistant commented that he had never been in a quieter class. Marcy had the idea to display student's Hebrew letters in a poster (above) to be sold at the December 13 Hanukkah party as a fundraiser for the Hebrew School.
