Color The Free Flanders Cross

Above is my sample coloring page of the Flander's Family cross.

      I downloaded this free cross coloring page from The Flanders Family website here. They have several very nice, adult level coloring pages for visitors. Also check out their free printables and read interesting posts. 

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 (NIV) is the text included on the coloring page.

Color angels in stained glass...

John Green's book above, teachers sample.

       One of my favorite coloring books published by Dover is by John Green. This collection of angels is printed on translucent vellum and little ones can hang up their color creations in the windows to watch the sunlight illuminate their progress.

       Teachers may download free samples of a few images to color themselves before purchasing the entire collection. I keep a book of sample pages on file to share coloring ideas with my companions or students.

       This coloring page demonstrates how I've applied pressure to my colored pencils in order to demonstrate gradation. Mastering a coloring skill such as this one is of primary importance when learning how to draw or paint more complicated art works. 

       Coloring books afford a fun and inexpensive way for students to practice gradation skills over and over, without becoming bored or frustrated with the repetitive process.

       I have included several coloring pages of floral stained glass that are designed to help aid students determine how and where to include a color gradient. This type of coloring page superimposes a regular coloring page on top of a digital tracing for those of you who would like to practice this method.

Color Saint Elizabeth of Hungry

Description of Coloring Page: bound feet, children of Saint Elizabeth, cast out, street, cared for the sick, people in city, determined

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, T.O.S.F. (German: Heilige Elisabeth von Thüringen, Hungarian: Árpád-házi Szent Erzsébet, 7 July 1207 – 17 November 1231), also known as Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia, was a princess of the Kingdom of Hungary, Landgravine of Thuringia, Germany, and a greatly venerated Catholic saint who was an early member of the Third Order of St. Francis, by which she is honored as its patroness. Elizabeth was married at the age of 14, and widowed at 20. After her husband's death she sent her children away and regained her dowry, using the money to build a hospital where she herself served the sick. She became a symbol of Christian charity after her death at the age of 24 and was quickly canonized. Read more...

Humble Hermits coloring page

Description of The Coloring Page:hermits, crow, cave, cross, poverty, bare feet, hoods, wilderness,

       In Christianity, the term was originally applied to a Christian who lives the eremitic life out of a religious conviction, namely the Desert Theology of the Old Testament (i.e., the 40 years wandering in the desert that was meant to bring about a change of heart).
       In the Christian tradition the eremitic life is an early form of monastic living that preceded the monastic life in the cenobium. The Rule of St Benedict (ch. 1) lists hermits among four kinds of monks. In the Roman Catholic Church, in addition to hermits who are members of religious institutes, the Canon law (canon 603) recognizes also consecrated hermits under the direction of their diocesan bishop as members of the consecrated life. The same is true in many parts of the Anglican Communion, including the Episcopal Church in the US, although in the canon law of the Episcopal Church they are referred to as "solitaries" rather than "hermits".

Color a portrait of "Mr. Holdstheworld and Mr. Byends" from Pilgrim's Progress

Description of The Coloring Page: a portrait of "Mr. Holdstheworld and Mr. Byends" from John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.
       Mr. Byends makes it his aim to avoid any hardship or persecution that Christians may have to undergo. He supposedly perishes in the Hill Lucre (a dangerous silver mine) with three of his friends, Hold-the-World, Money-Love, and Save-All, at the behest of Demas, who invites passersby to come and see the mine. A "by-end" is a pursuit that is achieved indirectly. For By-Ends and his companions, it is the by-end of financial gain through religion.

Color a portrait of "Hopeful" from Pilgrim's Progress

Description of The Coloring Page: a portrait of "Hopeful" from John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. The character Hopeful poses an inconsistency in that there is a necessity imposed on the pilgrims that they enter the "King's Highway" by the Wicket Gate. Hopeful did not; however, of him we read: "... one died to bear testimony to the truth, and another rises out of his ashes to be a companion with Christian in his pilgrimage." Hopeful assumes Faithful's place by God's design. Theologically and allegorically it would follow in that "faith" is trust in God as far as things present are concerned, and "hope," biblicaly the same as "faith," is trust in God as far as things of the future are concerned. Hopeful would follow Faithful. The other factor is Vanity Fair's location right on the straight and narrow way. Ignorance, in contrast to Hopeful, was unconcerned about the end times of God, unconcerned with true faith in Jesus Christ, and gave false hope about the future. Ignorance was told by Christian and Hopeful that he should have entered the highway through the Wicket Gate.

Color a portrait of "Mr. Worldly Wiseman" from Pilgrim's Progress

Description of The Coloring Page: a portrait of "Worldly Wiseman" from John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.
       His real advice is from the world and not from God, meaning his advice is flawed and consisted of three objectives: getting Christian off the right path, making the cross of Jesus Christ offensive to him, and binding him to the Law so he would die with his sins. Worldly Wiseman has brought down many innocent pilgrims and there will be many more to come.

Color a portrait of "Talkative" from Pilgrim's Progress

Description of The Coloring Page: a portrait of "Talkative" from John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.
       He is known to Christian as a fellow resident of the City of Destruction, living on Prating Row. He is the son of Say-Well and Mrs. Talk-About-The-Right Things. He is said to be better looking from a distance than close up. His enthusiasm for talking about his faith to Faithful deceives him into thinking that he is a sincere man. Christian lets Faithful know about his unsavory past, and in a conversation that Faithful strikes up with him he is exposed as shallow and hypocritical in his Christianity.

Color a portrait of "Ignorance" from Pilgrim's Progress

Description of The Coloring Page: a portrait of "Ignorance" from John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.
       He follows Christian and Hopeful and on two occasions talks with them. He believes that he will be received into the Celestial City because of his doing good works in accordance with God's will. For him, Jesus Christ is only an example, not a Savior. Christian and Hopeful try to set him right, but they fail. He gets a ferryman, Vain-Hope, to ferry him across the River of Death rather than cross it on foot as one is supposed to do. When he gets to the gates of the Celestial City, he is asked for a "certificate" needed for entry, which he does not have. The King upon hearing this, then, orders that he be bound and cast into Hell.

Giant allegories living in a cave...

Description of The Coloring Page: "Pope" and "Pagan," giants living in a cave at the end of the fearsome Valley of the Shadow of Death.
       They are allegories of Roman Catholicism and paganism as persecutors of Protestant Christians. "Pagan" is dead, indicating the end of pagan persecution with Antiquity, and "Pope" is alive but decrepit, indicating the then diminished power and influence of the Roman Catholic pope. In the Second Part, Pagan is resurrected by a demon from the bottomless pit of the Valley of the Shadow of Death, representing the new age of pagan persecution, and Pope is revived of his deadly wounds and is no longer stiff and unable to move, representing the beginning of the Christian's troubles with Roman Catholic popes.
