Description

This second pack of pictures from global contemporary Christian art complements the first pack. Sixteen stunning images tell stories of Jesus from the manger to the Cross - and beyond. Each picture card is backed with biblical extracts, provocative questions, and critical and appreciative responses to the art. A full 24-page guide to the classroom includes examples of pupils' work and some excellent new learning strategies.

Artist featured include Marc Chagall, Mark Wallinger and Vincent van Gogh, and come from all the continents of the world. Global Christian art is such a rich source for education about Christianity. This pack puts art in the hands of the teacher and learner in a usable and simple way, opening up the possibilities for inspiring and spiritual learning.

'Having extensively used the first Picturing Jesus pack, I was delighted to receive this second pack to review as I know it will be well used. Once again Lat Blaylock has chosen sixteen powerful images of Jesus from around the world. The scope for using these images is extensive. Starter activities can easily be based around them. As the author claims, this pack 'opens up the possibilities of inspiring the spiritual learning'.
