The Online Icon Course is a groundbreaking
distance learning course which developed from
the need to develop in-depth study for a scattered
group of people. The units are intended for your
own private study or to augment practical icon
studies, and particular arrangements are being
discussed with an academic body.
They focus on church art and architecture, as it
developed through the early Church in parallel
with theology and liturgy. Based on this tradition,
the units give tools to understand how to use
images in churches. It is intended that the final
units will discuss the tradition in terms of the
modern church building. | |
These units are suitable for:-
- Working iconographers, and for those pursuing icon writing as a way of devotion
- Church architects and craftsmen, and anyone else concerned with the re-ordering of churches
and designing the liturgical environment
- Priests and seminarians studying the visual environ of the liturgy
- Teachers and catechists
- They will be of general interest to anyone who wishes to augment their knowledge of the
Christian icon for their own devotion, or seeking a more profound understanding of the
eastern and western Churches
