Abstract

This study looks at how art education has contributed to the understanding of family issues and examined how the concept of gender acts on traditional mother-child images in the West. In traditional Western images of the Madonna and child, both Jesus and the Virgin Mary are depicted as having human bodies, and as intimately connected. Based on this, we studied the effectiveness of appreciation of art depicting the mother-child relationship as a means of developing an understanding of gender. In conclusion, through focusing on the concept of gender in the appreciation of mother-child art works, we suggest that art can contribute to human relationships, multicultural issues, and cross-cultural understanding.
