ART 150 Visual Arts and the Catholic Imagination

Focuses attention on two forces: dynamic Catholic orthodoxy, as exemplified by the history of the Catholic Church and the Franciscan Movement, converging with the 'permanent things' of visual design found in the rich treasury of Catholic and classical art history. Selected images, primarily paintings, sculpture and architecture from all periods will be viewed and discussed. Additional attention will be given to images that dramatically incarnate the true, the good and the beautiful in sacred Scripture, salvation history, the life of the Church and the sacramental dimension of the Catholic Christian worldview.
