“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”­­---Aristotle

While much of the great art in the Western tradition deals specifically with Biblical and religious subjects, in a broader sense, the entire artistic process itself is spiritually significant for both artist and viewer. From Kant to Kandinsky, considering Plato, St. Benedict, Rothko, Bravo, Chardin, and others, and looking at topics such as seeing, grace, authenticity, beauty, transcendence and transformation, this seminar will cultivate and enrich your appreciation and experience of art as a spiritual practice. We will also look at the field of theological aesthetics. This seminar is designed for those who love painting as well as for painters, and includes a guided visit to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

$275.00 includes 6 class sessions, and lunch at the MFA’s Bravo Restaurant.
