In the Christian East, icons are seen as theology in colour. They are known as "windows to heaven". Icons both reflect and help form Christian teaching. This course investigates the development of iconography, how icons are understood within the tradition, and how other approaches to the aesthetic can inform a contemporary understanding of iconography. [Note: This course fulfils an Area 3 requirement for Religious Studies majors.]
