Children of heaven. A psychoaesthetic and socioeducative analysis about an Iranian film

Abstract

It’s proposed an analysis about the film Children of Heaven, directed by Majid Majidi. Six dimensions about the film are examined (interpersonal, intrapersonal, transpersonal, ideological, symbolical and aesthetic), and the comments embrace six levels of exploration and understanding (descriptive, inferential, interpretative, appreciative, introspective and creative). Although the drill follows a personal pattern, in its upbringing at least four main contributions are fused: the “Education through Art”, The Teaching for Understanding, the structural model of the intellect proposed by J. P. Guilford, and the sociocultural and sociocritical approach on education.
