How To Build Noah's Ark

Improved Essays
The activity was to build an ark resembling Noah’s Ark with a minimum of three animals. The methods I used to build the ark was slabs, coils and pinching the clay. I went about the construction by making two slabs and putting them together by using slip and coil. Then another slab was made for the deck and again put on with slip and coils. Then three animals were created by pinching the clay into different sculptures. My inspirations were built upon pictures I saw on the internet of other clay sculptures of Noah’s Ark and pictures of Noah’s Ark. In my eyes, I was fairly successfully with my ark as I got it to stay together and stand up but I wasn’t happy with my deck as it sloped in when I put my building on top. I would do the deck differently

    To begin, there are many acheatypal similarities between Untapishtim and Noah, however the use of number seven is the most uncanny. The number seven is the most potent of all symbolic numbers and represents the complete cycle. In Untapishtim’s version of the flood, the numeral seven is used multiple times. For example, the ark was built with seven decks and completed on the seventh day. Also, in Untapishtim’s version, the flood lasted for seven days, the seven judges of hell were sent down and Untaishtim made a sacrifice in seven cauldrons.…

    The creation myth of the Epic of Gilgamesh starts out with the introduction of the character Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh is the powerful king of Uruk and two-thirds god, and one-third man who is seen as one of the greatest things in Uruk. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a creation myth because Utnapishtim tells Gilgamesh that the gods are going to flood the earth and wipe out mankind as punishment , and he is told to build a massive boat for his family and “take aboard the boat a seed of every living creature” (143). Similarly, just as it states in our bible, Noah is told to build an Arc for the flood and bring two of every animal…

    In this paper I will be comparing the biblical story of Noah with the Hollywood Film Noah. I am a firm believer in books being better than movies, especially when it comes to true stories. I have seen the movie Noah, and I also know and have read the story about Noah in the bible, and right off the bat I’m going to say that Hollywood definitely let their imaginations fly on this one. According to one of my sources, “A man is chosen by his world 's creator to undertake a momentous mission before an apocalyptic flood cleanses the world”(IMDB). They got a few of the facts right but other than that they just recreated the story.…

Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.' And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him" (New International Version, Gen. 7:1-5).
