This is a sketchbook assignment my middle school students have been working on over the past few weeks.
I printed out a variety of colouring pages and cut them up. Each student chose a section and glued it into their sketchbook as inspiration for a sketchbook drawing. They did not see the original big picture, but had to use their own creative ideas to draw and fill the rest of the page. Finished drawings were outlined with black marker.
I realized this assignment is an analogy for life- While God can see the overall big picture of our lives, all of its pathways, and how our dreams, decisions and life experiences intersect; we only see it piece by piece. Often He gives us only as much as we can handle for the next step. This is something I have been reflecting on recently in this season of overseas life as I gear up for changes ahead!
