Art-based learning
interpretered correctly children should see in in three ways. Firstly they see it by the global
view where the approach is emotional and they are attrachted by some details and missing
some. Secondly there is a analytic view, where they analyse the obvious and more symbolic
meanings and find the relationships between them. Thirdly they see it in a syntetic way, where
the global message is explained and enriched by the symbolic meanings. In other words at
first they read it, then they analize it and in the end they verbalise the
message(Mazzarello:108-109).
The power of sacred art can be used for teaching purposes. In fact, religious art "makes
possible a larger measure of desirable religious growth with the least waste of time and energy
and with the greatest satisfaction to all concerned. In the interest of economy and efficiency it
is recognized as an indispensible factor." Therefore, "the use of art in religious education is
not a luxury." [Bailey, A
