| Abstract: | Recent German religious education (RE) developmental studies focus on children's drawings of God images. Reviewing them the article discusses the possibility of taking pictures to be not only a reproduction of inner concepts but also as phenomena indicating a formation process. It is argued that this process is based on the human capacity of creative seeing. Not only to perceive facts in reality but to see something with other eyes, is part of human freedom, the concept which human formation (Bildung) is aiming at. |
