Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The goals of the course are to understand and perceive the importance of the visual arts in religious cultures, especially in Christianity. In the seminars, students learn about basic concepts of iconography, iconology, iconic, and they are introduced into the analysis of iconographic themes. Through visual presentation, students can identify the main iconographic themes of the eras of Christian art. They understand the connection between artwork and the intention of the Church, to transmit the teachings of theology and religious ideology. The seminars include rich pictures representation prepared with Power Point and handouts.
