What is a Triptych?

The term “triptych” – whose name stems from the Greek for “three folds” – is used in fine art to describe a painting which consists of three parts, usually comprising a larger central panel and two wings that are hinged together so that the wings fold over the centre when closed.

 

Seventh:  Mr. D’s Class worked on self-portrait’s. They learned about measuring the correct  proportions and added Bible Verses in the background.

Mrs. Sterns class started working on the “ Respect Life” Art Contest (the instructions are located via Google Classroom for Art ). They were asked to incorporate the Bible Verse “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you” Matthew 7:12 

Life And Dignity Of The Human Person

The Catholic Church  proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is  the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of  all the principles of our social teaching. In our society, human life is under  direct attack from abortion and euthanasia. The value of human life is being  threatened by cloning, embryonic stem cell research, and the use of the death  penalty. The intentional targeting of civilians in war or terrorist attacks is always wrong. Catholic teaching also calls on us to work to avoid war. Nations must protect the right to life by finding increasingly effective ways to prevent conflicts and resolve them by peaceful means. We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/catholic-social-teaching/life-and-dignity-of-the-human-person.cfm
