Artistic interpretation of the first two chapters of the Book of Numbers
The panels below are a result of integrating the arts with Judaica
studies. The students read the first two chapters of the Book of
Numbers and were then coached on the creative process and ultimately
how to create art that represented their interpretation of the
readings. The students then recreated their work on canvas which was
then made into a quilt.
