Bilder von Himmelfahrt: Drawing the Ascension of Jesus
Welcome, young artists! Today, we’re going to embark on a special drawing adventure. We’ll be creating beautiful pictures of the "Himmelfahrt," the Ascension of Jesus into heaven. This is a story from the Bible, a story of hope and faith.
But first, let’s answer some questions:
- What is Himmelfahrt? It’s the story of Jesus, after his resurrection, going up to heaven to be with God.
- Why draw it? Drawing helps us understand and remember the story, and it allows us to express our own feelings about it.
- What materials do we need? We’ll need paper, pencils, crayons, or colored pencils, and maybe even some markers.
Let’s start with the basics:
- The Setting: We can draw the scene where Jesus is ascending to heaven. Think about the sky, clouds, and maybe even a mountain or a group of people watching below.
- Jesus: Draw Jesus with his arms raised, going up to heaven. Think about how to make him look peaceful and joyful.
- Light and Shadows: We can use light and shadows to make our drawing look more realistic. For example, the clouds can be lighter at the top and darker at the bottom.
- Details: Add small details to make our drawing more interesting. Maybe draw some angels or birds surrounding Jesus.
Here are some tips to make your drawing even better:
- Use different colors: Try using different shades of blue for the sky, white for the clouds, and maybe even some gold or yellow for the light around Jesus.
- Practice drawing shapes: Before you start, practice drawing circles, squares, and triangles. These basic shapes will help you draw Jesus and the clouds.
- Don’t be afraid to make mistakes: Everyone makes mistakes when they draw. It’s okay to erase and start over. The important thing is to have fun and be creative!
Now, let’s create a coloring page theme:
Why should we have this image?
- Visual Learning: Drawing and coloring help children visualize the story of the Ascension, making it more memorable and engaging.
- Creativity and Expression: It allows children to express their own understanding and feelings about this important event.
- Faith and Spirituality: It can serve as a visual reminder of faith and hope, encouraging children to reflect on the message of the Ascension.
How to make the coloring page:
- Simple Outline: Start with a simple outline of the scene. Draw a large circle for the sun, some wavy lines for clouds, and a basic shape for Jesus with outstretched arms.
- Add Details: Add details like a halo around Jesus, maybe a few birds flying, or some people looking up from the ground.
- Labeling: You can add labels to the different elements of the drawing, like "Jesus," "Clouds," "Heaven," etc. This helps with learning and understanding.
- Coloring Fun: Let the children color the drawing with their favorite colors. Encourage them to be creative and use different shades and patterns.
