The Nativity Scene Celebrated With Lowcountry Oyster Shells
It’s Christmas time at PCA and that means decorations everywhere you look, countless trees both in the halls and in the classrooms, but most importantly, a focus on the birth of our dear Savior.
This year Mrs. Light’s third grade classroom helped celebrate the season by way of a special project.
Sally Myers, parent of Ford Myers, had the idea of walking the class through a unique art project of creating the Nativity Scene using oyster shells.
“I love the connection between the oysters and the lowcountry,” explained Myers. “The Nativity scene is my favorite part of Christmas.”
Students took gold paint and painted the outer rims of the oysters and then took a navy blue painted canvas and used brushstrokes of gold to create the hay in the manger as well as the star of Bethlehem.
“This project is fun,” said Anna Sims Avinger. “You get to do a project about Jesus and you get to do it for your parents!”
These creations are sure to be a sparkling light in this holiday season.
