Above, you may find the interviews and semi-structured interviews conducted with these students. As you can observe in Figure 7, S7 completely scribbles the whole page and scribbles an ellipse in the middle of the page in a darker color. When replying during the interview, she states that she had bad feeling and thoughts about Christianity and that is why she scribbled the page. She responded the open-ended question by saying, “I do not like Christians and I do not have good feelings for them, they are not like us, I like my own cultural values. It is important to me that my friend shares my culture." When we looking at the painting of S8, we observe

Painting 15 belongs to a Grunschule (primary school) student as shown above. S15 explained is painting as follows, “The sing of the cross and the sound of the horses come to my mind. because when Christians and Muslims were fighting, the Christians were unfair." When we asked how he acquired this information, he answered, “My mother told me while I was watching a movie.” If we evaluate together the expressions and drawing, we can conclude that he uses the icon – the sign of the cross – and index (cause-effect, the unfairness of Christians, the war between Christians and Muslims) indicator together. When we asked the reason why he painted red the sign of the cross, S15 replied, “When I think about Islam, the green is the appropriate color to me. For Judaism, it is blue, and it is red for the Christianity. That is why I painted the cross in red.” S15 replied to open-ended questions by saying, “I feel bad about the sign of the cross”. Likewise, the painting 16 is drawn by a Grundschule student. S16 explained the painting by saying, “The Christians wanted to throw the Prophet Abraham into the fire. The ants carried water to protect the Prophet Abraham. I believe they do not believe in Prophet Muhammad.” When we asked S16 how he acquired this information, he responded, “Before going to bed, my dad tells me stories. He told me about the story as well. That’s why I drew it.” When we evaluate his expressions and his drawing, we can conclude that S16 uses the icon – the sign of the cross, the index indicator (cause-effect/the Christians are mean and they throw Prophet Abraham into the fire) together. In addition, S16 prefers to express his thoughts with a symbol that is not directly related to the Christians today, like throwing Abraham on fire. In this sense, it is possible to state

An important aspect of this painting is its use of light. The top portion of the painting is very bright, with small angels and clouds. It implies a type of heaven watching over what is happening. Larger angels are carrying Saint Catherine upwards, and below her is cast in shadow. This represents her reward for her faith, which is kind treatment in the afterlife by the angels and God who she worships.

Another characteristic that medieval paradigm applied to painting is the emphasis on god and spiritual.

A varied balance between the symbolic and realism has been struck world over by the painting.

In looking at a cross, one can feel many emotions from it as it reminds us of what has transpired in the early days. When slavery was rampant, abuse was at a height, and the people would often be treated like animals………….. The days when savages held the authority, and good was scarce to come by. Order was not kept at a balance. It was enforced and controlled by

In this picture (Figure 6) carries a message about the anxiety of sexual application in the combination of the man’s foolish and open facial expression. The monkey leads the bad thinking of the boy to make it effective, which is expressed as a symbol through the blowing expression at the fire with the boy. Monkey are usually used in painting as a symbol of evil and perverted. The painting, therefore, may be intended to convey a moralizing message against the base and foolish instinct of lust and wicket friend (An Allegory (Fabula) National Galleries of Scotland, 2002). Although these two paintings (Figure 7 and Figure 8) do not look the same, but the same story narrated in the Bible reveals.
Christianity has used symbolism from its very beginnings.[1] Each saint has a story and a reason why he or she led an exemplary life. Symbols have been used to tell these stories throughout the history of the Church. A number of Christian saints are traditionally represented by a symbol or iconic motif associated with their life, termed an attribute or emblem, in order to identify them. The study of these forms part of iconography in art history. They were particularly used so that the illiterate could recognize a scene, and to give each of the Saints something of a personality in art.
