I am planning on becoming an art teacher but I am a devout catholic and it really bothers me when i enter catholic schools and see disturbing artworks with peoples heads being blown off. I understand that art is a free expression of the mind, but I feel that in Catholic schools, these dark disturbing images should not be allowed because it undermines catholic doctrines. I dont think that Jesus would want children to draw images that advocate nudity, violence or demonic horrific images found in horror movies, in a place which teaches us about God. I understand that we live in a world full of violence, caos and corruption, but it is does not give rights for children to draw whatever they please. I feel that catholic shcools should be more strict on artworks because it reflects the solemnity and dignity of the school. If a student is evily inspired to draw horrific images, then i feel that they should do them in public schools where religion does not interfere with it? What do you think?
