Art has the power to tell fascinating and compelling tales.
Course Description:
Art has the power to tell fascinating and compelling tales. Melton's courses on the different books of the Torah present a number of art pieces that visualize the biblical narrative. Together, we will use the art pieces presented in the Shivim Panim curricula and discuss how visual arts are also a form of midrash (interpretation) and how they tell a compelling story about traditional bible stories. Passages from the books of Genesis, Exodus, Numbers and Deutornomy will be explored.
