Specificul educației plastico-religioase la vârsta timpurie

Abstract

In a world ruled by consumerism and industrialization, the modern man has gradually turned away from holiness and God. There have appeared a lot of icon replicas which have very little to do with the authentic Byzantine icons and which deform the authentic Christian Orthodox faith. Children are our descendants of tomorrow, and a game played at the Plastic education classes would offer the preschoolers, beside the thorough learning of the visual language, a closer look at the Orthodox cult elements, helping them become better in relation to themselves and to other people. The shapes they will be rendering on paper, together with the information on the Orthodox cult, will be easier to assimilate. The children have a minimum of knowledge and preparation from home, where their Christian Orthodox parents teach them, during the first 6-7 years of life, how to be a good Christian in society, by hanging a candle and an icon on the Eastern facing wall.
