The objective of this article is to show one case of realizing the idea of "International Understanding through Art Education" that appears in the government curriculum guidelines for junior high school. From this viewpoint, western painting based on Christianity, which seems to be difficult to understand for the average Japanese, is picked as a learning subject. The author proposes "Linkage-Based Art Appreciation, " referring to the chain-like concordance method of the Bible, "Shinkaiyaku Seisho, " as a model for an instructional strategy for deeply appreciating western painting. Its main concept is to connect various works one after another in netlike directions, using motives, the characters, stories, Christian doctrinal themes, colors or compositions as nodes for linkage. Through this, learners might deepen their Biblical understanding and it is also an important part of this learning. In this article, the author shows a definite plan to link up five representative pieces of western painting and gives three instances of his art classes at both elementary and junior high schools and a culture center.
