The class analyzed numerous paintings, including the large mural of Saint Gregory's Dancing Saints Icon Project, exhibited on the walls of the atrium. Students also familiarized themselves with egg tempura-painted wooden iconography, as well as mosaic, fresco, embroidery, tapestry, precious metal, and enamel pieces.
"The exhibition displays how icons bring theology into visual expression through its symbolic language," commented Carter.
Visitors were particularly impressed by the remarkable entrance display depicting "The Burning Bush" tile mosaic by Felix Boukh & Sascha Fomina (1993) and carved wooden doors, named "River of Life" by Shane Eagleton (1995).
