To make this art project, students will need to gather the following supplies: white school glue, a very large sheet of black construction paper, a piece of white or pale yellow chalk and a student grade box of pastels or oil pastels, one or the other. If you should decide to use the soft pastels, you will also need either a can of fixative or hairspray to keep the chalk in place at the end of the exercise.

Using your chalk lightly press down and sketch out either a city on a hill or an idyllic representation of a landscape, depending upon which of the scriptures you intend to illustrate. You may rub out any of the mistakes with a tissue as you draw. Once you have a composition you like, take the tip of a glue bottle and squeeze out the glue next to your chalk marks to recreate the entire drawing in glue. Let the glue drawing dry over night so that it is "transparent" but still visible to the eye.
Now fill in the spaces between the glue lines using pastels. The soft pastels will not adhere to the raised glue lines. However, if you are using oil pastels for this art exercise, you will need to carefully avoid coloring around these.
Once you have completed the project, it should look like stained glass. Hang it on your classroom wall after your teacher has sprayed the artwork with fixative. Teachers may use a hairspray as an alternative, less expensive replacement to ''fix'' the powdered pastels in place.

| Matthew 5:14-16 |
"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5: 14-16

| Psalm 23:1-6 |
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Psalm 23:1-6
