A NATRE project to link creativity with Religious Education for schools
Giving Thanks
Giving Thanks The aim of my design is to remind people of all the things we take for granted like food and water. These things aren't available in some places so we need to take others into consideration. We can ease our guilt by saying thank you as often as we can. My artwork made me realise how easy it is to be thankful, yet how we hardly ever do it. My design was inspired by jars that help you break a habit. Every time you do this habit, the forfeit is to put money in the jar. I thought that I could do the opposite. Every time you want to say thank you to God, you write your thanks on paper or on a coin a put it in the jar. This would help you feel better about yourself and boost your confidence. I am not highlighting only one religion - all of them are important. I am more familiar with Christianity and Buddhism, but it doesn't matter what your religion is; saying thank you is still important. |
