Infusing Lessons with Sacred Art

Master Teacher Jose Gonzalez leads a 45-minute session for Catholic teachers and catechists on teaching with sacred art. All participants will receive a certificate to apply towards continuing education requirements. It will be recorded if you cannot join live.

You will delve into questions such as:

• How can I use sacred art to get students engaged, no matter what their background or skill level?
   
• In what ways can the use of art set a tone that shows students religion class is "different" from their other subjects?
   
• Can art help my students understand Scripture?
   
• How does the use of beauty point my students towards Christ, leading them to authentically encounter Him? 
   
• How do I keep class discussion about art focused?
   
• What are ways you can make your classroom more beautiful, as well as encourage students to seek truth, beauty, and goodness?

Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
