05 Transcendental Beauty
Thurs Class | Available (Annual Enrollment Required)
Facilitator: Mary Esterhammer Fic
From the earliest days of the Church, Christian artists have expressed their faith by creating images to honor God. Through a variety of media (including painting, sculpture, mosaics and stained glass) these objects delight our senses and elevate our appreciation of the Incarnation. In this course, we will examine the history, styles, and meaning of some of the world’s most beloved art, and we will learn about the hidden gems in some of Chicago’s spectacular churches.
