The Colors of Israel
- Acrylic Art Piece -

This school year, we are excited to incorporate famous Israeli artists, their techniques, and styles into our art sessions. By doing so, we aim to encourage students to build deeper connections with Israel through art.

The theme for this year was "Colors of Israel." The students worked with stencils of their Hebrew names to create trays adorned with gemstones and spray paint. Through incorporating symbols of Israel—like doves, pomegranates, and hamsas—their creations reflected their pride in their Jewish identity and love for Israel.

In this session, they learnt about an Israeli artist, Nachum Gutman. https://www.gutmanmuseum.co.il/.

Nachum Gutman (1898–1980) was an Israeli artist, writer, and illustrator known for his vibrant depictions of early Tel Aviv and the Land of Israel. Blending folklore, history, and modernism, his work features bright colors, whimsical compositions, and a mix of Eastern and Western influences. Using various media—oil paintings, mosaics, watercolors, and illustrations—Gutman captured Israel’s pioneering spirit and nostalgic landscapes.
