The Trinity

Year 7 student, Vincent, produced some fantastic work for his Religious Education homework, so much so that it is on display in our Southbourne reception area, for all to see and enjoy. His 3D creation, called the Trinity, depicts the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Students were asked to choose one of the following three homework tasks, and encouraged to put real effort into creating a great piece of homework, as they had two weeks to complete it.
- Option 1: ‘A picture can speak a thousand words.’
- Option 2: Can businesses act selflessly?
- Option 3: Not all heroes wear capes
Vincent chose 'A picture speaks a thousand words', creating a piece of art that teaches others the meaning of the Trinity. The task stated that it needed to include: God as the Father (Think of the creation story!); God as the Son (Think about Jesus!); and God as the Holy Spirit. (God still present on earth today).
Vincent said, "I wanted to create a more unique piece of art, so I was influenced by a more modern style of art that I am interested in – Pop Art. My main inspiration was Lichtenstein and his comic book style of pop art. I also found this style of art interesting because it only uses primary colours. Primary colours create all other colours, just as God created everything. The Trinity makes up God and there are three primary colours just like there are three beings in the Trinity."
Vincent met with Headteacher, Mr Doyle, who congratulated him on such an excellent and well-thought-out piece of homework.
