Cardboard Nativity Scene (Bible Art Project)

In this hands-on art class, students will create a beautiful Nativity silhouette scene using cardboard, paint, and simple shapes. Inspired by classic Christmas imagery, this lesson teaches how silhouettes can tell a powerful story using only outlines and contrast. Students will learn the meaning behind the Nativity symbols Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, and the Star of Bethlehem, and explore how light and shadow can create a peaceful, glowing effect. Using a template and step-by-step guidance, learners will cut, assemble, and decorate their own Nativity silhouette, perfect for displaying at home or church during the Christmas season. This class blends art, creativity, and Scripture to help students connect their faith with artistic expression.
