Journey Through Religious Art

Journey Through Religious Art DVDs and Educators Guides are an excellent way to make the masterworks of the past "live" in the present. The first DVD includes programs titled: The Mannerists: Sixteenth-Century European Art and Symbols in Religious Art, both with Educators Guides included. The second DVD includes an Educators Guide to accompany the program titled: The Glories of Baroque: Flemish, Dutch, Spanish, and French Painting, plus a fourth program titled: Splendors of Baroque: Italian Painting, for expanded study in the Baroque era. Bob Jones Jr., renowned art connoisseur and founder of the BJU Museum & Gallery, created all of the programs and narrates three. Each of the Educators Guides is organized into four lessons that include a historical overview and a viewing outline (for reinforcing concepts) and a grading rubric (for student assessment). Included with the four programs is a special tribute to Dr. Bob Jones Jr. - Container. Dr. Bob Jones, Jr. (1911-1997) conceived of these programs which explore the development and characteristics of Mannerist and Baroque art, as well as the religious and Christian symbolism in paintings from the Bob Jones Museum and Gallery. Each video contains a tribute to Dr. Bob Jones, Jr., who collected the paintings for the museum. Three study guides, developed by the educational staff of the museum and gallery, provide background material, lessons and activities for students.
