CRAFTS FOR GRADE 4
LESSON 5
Stop Motion Animation
We finally got to do the stop-motion animation. We used paper to make the mountains.
The App Stop Motion Studiowas used to take photos, a tripod held the phone steadily with help from the parents. Horses were used to show the journey. REMEMBER (no one in the Holy Family is depicted.
Creating a stop-motion animation is much easier with a dedicated app. Ours took about 10 minutes to plan and another 15 minutes to photograph. You can make your props from any materials you have on hand—clay, paper, LEGO, or anything else that works!
- Draw
- Calligraphy
- Chain
- The Holy Family
Draw the family of Bahá’u’lláh traveling across the mountains in the winter on their way to Baghdád. Remember not to include any representation that could be mistaken for Bahá’u’lláh.
Baha’ullah’s handwriting was beautiful! Many Persian calligraphy is done in the form of shapes. Choose a prayer or a quote to fill in one of the images of your choice, or choose an image to fill with writing/words.
Bahá’u’lláh was ill and exhausted from the terrible conditions of the Síyáh-Chál. The chain that had been placed around His neck during His imprisonment was so heavy that it had made deep wounds, and the poison had left Him in a weakened state:
Based on the paragraph above we are going to make a chain to symbolize Bahá’u’lláh love for us that he consented to be in chains. This is an easy craft. you will need strips of paper. Write inspiring quotes or just words like “love, service, prayer” etc. loop them together and hang in your room to remember that at all times and under all conditions, Bahá’u’lláh was victorious.
