Art and PSHE/RE

A set of images drawn from the history of art, as found in Sister Wendy Beckett's (1995) A Child&'s Book of Prayer in Art - a book now somewhat difficult to acquire. Accompanied by a set of &';matching words' and further discussion points, I&'ve shown these paintings to pupils age 8-16 in both mainstream and SEBD settings. Children and young people always responded very positively to the them and the discussions and were always keen to have more lessons involving images drawn from art history.
