The Prohibition Against Making Images: Teaching Art in the Orthodox Jewish Schools in Montreal: The Context for This Problem and an Examination of Art Teaching Practice in Two Orthodox Schools
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the establishment of plastic arts programs in Quebec orthodox Jewish day schools. Such programs are problematic because in the Torah the believer is commanded not to produce graven images, and this prohibition also pertains to the production of three-dimensional works. However, the author points out that Quebec Government (the Ministry of Education) regulations made the plastic arts program compulsory, even in Jewish day schools. The author examines the visual arts programs in two orthodox Jewish schools in Montreal -- one Chassidic and the other Talmudic. The guiding philosophy in each school is different and this difference affects the manner in which the arts programs are conducted. The author found that the Chassidic school provides a full range of art projects, both two and three dimensional, while the Talmudic school keeps the arts program very limited.
