Wheaton College - Massachusetts

Subject:

Description:

Students taking these connected courses will learn to explore religious themes through visual forms, in addition to their more typical expression in textual media, and will draw inspiration and a content base from this background information as they develop their own creative expression. They should plan to enroll in the courses in the same semester, choosing whichever of the three studio courses is offered when the religion course is available. Rel 277 begins with myths and visual images of animals in a variety of religious traditions; both classes will participate in a field trip which offers the opportunity to observe how animals are featured in religious art. Art students will present their creative work to the rest of the students in the religion course for critique at the end of the semester.
