Christmas in Children's Home
KOSTRHOUNOVÁ, Eliška
The bachelor thesis deals with Christmas in children's homes. The theoretical part introduces the children's homes in more detail and also takes into account the factors that influence the experience of a child who is placed in institutional care. It also describes the traditions, holidays and symbols that are part of Advent and Christmas in the Czech Republic. The research part was developed through semi-structured interviews with staff of children's homes. The aim was to find out the following: What specific traditions do children's homes observe? How does the staff communicate with the children about the existence of Christ Child? Is there increased contact with the family? Whether children go home for Christmas? What is the course of Christmas Eve? What organizations provide gifts to the orphanages? It appears that the teaching staff make an effort to ensure that the children are not deprived of anything during Advent and Christmas. In the children's homes, various traditions are observed, the homes are decorated and presents are brought, as in the most families, by Christ Child. The only difference is when the festive dinner takes place. Due to some children going home, Christmas is celebrated 2 times. Gifts to the orphanages are provided by many organizations, but also by individuals. The work is beneficial to a wide range of readers and offers a partially different perspective on the celebration of holidays that most people experience within the family circle.

The use of topic Betlehem in art-therapy
FIALKOVÁ, Elena
The bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of Bethlehem, one of the art therapeutic topics of projective-intervention methodology. The work is divided into two parts. In the first theoretical part, the text deals with a story as a therapeutic and art therapeutic tool. It describes the use of symbolism and archetypal themes with which stories work in therapy. The text mentions in more detail aspects of working with a biblical story and its characteristic differences from other types of stories, such as fairy tales or myths. The theme of Bethlehem in art therapy work raises questions related to his own self-concept within the family, relationships in the family, sibling constellation and the relationship to the home. Furthermore, the bachelor's thesis offers an overview of the development of the scenes of Bethlehem in European and world art, while presenting various efforts to visualize and materialize the story of Bethlehem in the history of civilization. In individual periods, it presents the specifics of a given period or style on specific examples. In the life and paintings of four artists of the 20th century (P. Gauguin, M. Chagall, E. Schiele, B. Reynek) with themes related to Bethlehem and the family, the work seeks the relationship between the style and symbolism that the paintings convey. In the practical part, the work deals with case studies of images that were selected to include a diverse range of examples. The authors of various age, gender and social groups paint the theme of Bethlehem, some in the questionnaires allow a deeper insight into the personal issues that accompany the pictures. The scene, format and technique were not specified in detail and there are different types of processing. In some moments we encounter stereotypes, in othermoments we are surprised by new possibilities of grasping this traditional Christmas story.
