 Jaxson S. | I visited Florence, Italy in late September. Wandering in the narrow streets and alleys of this beautiful renaissance city, I saw a great variety of unique metal door knockers attached to ancient doors. They reflect the artistic nature of the city's residents. I shared photos of the knockers with Blue Church Art students, and these great drawings are the result. |
My favorite knockers were grotesque devil and demon heads...

I found that many of the knockers featured lion heads. Lions symbolize strength and power. What better animal to guard an Italian entryway?

| One student used his "color imagination" to create this beautiful colored pencil and pastel drawing of a metal lion head knocker. |  Luke F. |
