J24 Holy Land and the Arts: June 16 – June 28, 2024

The Holy Land is a powerful theme in much Western art, but the land itself preserves a rich heritage of religious art from the Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions. In this program, students engage with the Holy Land through a focus on media such as architecture, icons, inscriptions, mosaics, olive wood, sculpture, and stained glass windows. The course will also address chosen themes, including Jerusalem in the three traditions, Abraham, Annunciation and the Nativity of Jesus, Holy Week, Crucifixion, Resurrection, the Jordan River, and Wilderness.
