Kibbutz in Color
- A Dyed Paper Art

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 learned about an Israeli artist, Mordecai Ardon.

Mordecai Ardon (1896–1992) was a pioneering Israeli painter known for blending modernist techniques with Jewish mysticism and biblical symbolism. Born in Galicia and trained at the Bauhaus under Paul Klee and Kandinsky, Ardon later became a key figure in Israeli art education, serving as director of the Bezalel Academy. His vivid, symbolic works often explore spiritual and historical themes. One of his most famous pieces is the stained-glass triptych Isaiah’s Vision of Eternal Peace, located in the National Library of Israel.
