• Iconography: “Image Writing” With regard to Christianity, these are images that depict religious figures (such Jesus, saints, apostles, angels, etc.) or illuminate religious stories.
• This practice originated in the earliest days of the Christian Church to assist those who could not read, and also to serve as symbols or codes to identify groups and/or their beliefs.

• Iconography is the branch of art history which studies the identification, description, and the interpretation of the content of images.

Christmas cards originated in England over 150 years ago.
• Sir Henry Cole, the founder of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London had so many Christmas greetings to send that handwriting them was impossible.
• He wanted to make his friends aware of the need to help the
destitute on that holiday.
• So, in the year 1843, Sir Henry commissioned John Calcot Horsley to paint a card showing the feeding and clothing of the poor.
The Christmas Card

John Horsley produced a triptych.
The centerpiece featured a party ofadults and children, with plentiful food and drink.
Each of the two side panels depicted a good deed: clothing the naked and feeding the
hungry.

The first Christmas card’s inscription read: “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you."
"Merry" was then a spiritual word meaning "blessed," as in "merry old England."

You will need to collect images that help you communicate your message:
Look in books, at old cards, in clip art, books with pictures of animals, in an illustrated bible, in the school library, or basically anywhere you can find pictures!
Begin to simplify the image. You will be carving in into a linoleum block, and later rolling ink over it and printing it on different colors of paper.
