__**May 13th:**__

You had homework to choose a favorite Psalm. In your blog, compose a meditation on the psalm or a prayer based on the psalm. What does it mean to you? We are going to create illuminations for the Psalm and your meditation/prayer using gimp. From dictionary.com In the Middle Ages all books were hand-written original works of art. These “illuminated” manuscripts were so called because of their frequent incorporation of gold or sometimes silver leaf onto the page. Illumination comes from the Latin word illuminare, meaning “light up,” and when one sees one of these brilliant manuscripts in person, the term makes sense. media type="custom" key="23020620" media type="custom" key="23020628" Steps: We will try to do steps 1-3 today [] - illuminations from the St. John’s bible
