(8,830 posts)Sunday School teacher who was planning on studying art in college.
Add "clever" idea: children draw pictures of the crucifixion (umm, right . . .) with pastels, then "paint" them using the buttermilk, which - as I recall - make them look vaguely like oil paintings. Very BAD oil paintings.
Problem 1: this was done the Sunday before Easter, so the masterpieces would be ready for viewing by the assembled congregation, touring the Sunday school. Completed pictures were hung on the walls to dry for the week.
Problem 2: the weather warmed up that week.
Problem 3: the room was completely closed.
Result: Unforgettable image of Sunday best-dressed grown-ups (including the minister) running from the room, gagging, after opening the door to about 20 rancid, moldy masterpieces.
It may have been the reason I started to doubt the veracity of what I was being taught . . .
Fun chatting with you, too.
