Summary:
The extraordinarily beautiful art from different cultural and historic periods illustrates a Bible passage from Ecclesiastes. An end section describes the historical/geographical information about the art work.

Teaching Ideas:
Students will want to spend time with each double page, discussing the meaning of the language and the interpretation of the art work, perhaps keeping a journal as they read and discuss. Students may choose to illustrate another favorite sacred verse. With the information given on the styles of art, students could locate these cultures on maps using an historical atlas. For students interested in exploring the different cultural art styles, the following web sites offer images and information: general: www.metmuseum.org, www.louvre.fr; Book of Kells: www.library.ubc.ca/finearts/KKELLS.html; Ukiyo-e: www.nbn.co.ip/ukiyoe/edotrip.html; www.bahnhof.se/~secular/ukiyo-e/; Codex Nuttal: www.humanities-interactive.org/olla.html; Mughal art www.infoplease.com/ce6/ent/A0834336.html; pueblo murals: www.geocities.com/Athens/Olympus/6381/pivl.html.
