Scrolls: Activity 2 Make a scroll out of a range of materials As you can see from the pictures, scrolls have been made out of lots of different things.
Find some interesting materials, such as silver foil, soft plastic, tissue paper, cloth, and use these to roll into a scroll. It does not have to be big. See if you can find different implements and materials to write with such as embroidery, pen, wax, paint, ink, tea, coal dust, carving etc.
This scroll from the fifteenth century commemorates the pilgrimage (religious journey) to Mecca. It is illustrated with images of places that were passed through on the journey. Make your own certificate that commemorates a special journey. Write and draw on the scroll your emotions, the places you pass and any special events that occur along the way.
Make a scroll that fits into its own holder.
Design a container that you can keep your scroll inside. Use the image of the "Million Pagoda Charms" to give you inspiration. The eight charms were a thanksgiving and kept inside a wooden pagoda. What would you keep your scroll in? Think of the type of materials you might use. Papier mache is very good as you can make lots of different and unusual shapes. Design your holder, then make your scroll. You could have anything written on it; rules, thanksgiving, prayers, wishes, a story etc. Make sure it is something special, as your container will protector your scroll. >> Questions to ask yourself
