Nature and Purpose of Religious Art
What do we mean by religious art?
Today: are there different types of religious art? Next time: what makes something religious art?
TASK: In pairs come up with as many suggestions as you can for how you would categorise the images you are going to see.
The images will go on a loop so you will see them several times!
This will also see your general knowledge of art and religious art – so don’t worry if you draw a blank!
How can we categorise the images?
Possible suggestions:
Period Style Medium Region Purpose Intended
Audience
To what extent can we easily define religious art?
“’Christian art’ is unusual in that it does not describe art of a particular style, period, or region, but art for a particular range of purposes, which encompasses a wide range of forms and styles”
Beth Williamson (Christian Art: A V.S. Intro)
