LOMBARD CREATIVITY EXERCISE
A PRECIOUS TREASURE
The Lombard Temple hides a real treasure: on the west counter-façade, right in front of the presbytery, there is a very precious stucco ornament, exceptionally well preserved, which date back to the VIII century. You won't find something similar anywhere in the world!
The great protagonists of the Temple are the six relief figures of Saints who seem to walk towards a small window in the center of the wall ...
TRAIN YOUR KEEN EYE
Look closely at the six Saints: they look the same, but they are very different one from each other! Take your time and write down as many differences as you can find (look at the hair, the clothes, the hands ...). Three, two, one ... go!
Although with the strict constraint of the shape, the artists who sculpted these Saints could give free rein to their creativity, customizing each sculptures with small details.
Print these templates of the Saints and decorate them as you prefer! The only bond: they must be all different! Here you have some tips (they could be written on a slip of paper and picked up at random): use only lines, circles, dots, strips, many colors, one color, spirals, zigzag… and lastly: what does this shape remind you of?
Test your imagination!
