Year 4

The Annunciation, Jesus Mafa. This painting introduces children to the idea that the characters in the Nativity story could be Black, or brown, or from different parts of the world. It was created in Cameroon in the 1970s, when a group of missionaries realised that all their resources were unsuitable, because they presented images of Jesus and Christians as white Europeans. What do the class think of painting Mary and the Angel as Black Africans? What if they were Chinese? Or South American? Would it matter? Why / Why not?
