Artwork Resources
Many pieces of art that have been produced portray images of Scriptural readings and the key messages and stories conveyed throughout the Bible. The art pieces below depict three drawings of events from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. They are particularly relevant for the season of Ordinary Time because they follow the liturgical cycle (Years A through to C). For school-aged children, these images display Jesus' relationship, love and compassion for people of all kinds. These images provoke the starting point for classroom conversations about Biblical readings, events and related topics.
