dirty ethel rackham Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi all, I am leading a history club meeting on Russia in the Renaissance and want to have them study Russian iconography and architecture. We will probably to an architecture tour over the summer, but I thought it would be good to talk about iconography. What resources would be good for a group of 9-12 year olds?

simka2 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Much of Orthodox Iconography is Russian. What I mean is, even in my Antiochian church the Iconographer was Russian. If you want to pm a couple of us your location we can see if there is a good church near you that could provide a hands on tour. Here is another link that I like http://www.iconarts.com/originstechnique.html This might be of interest. It is not renaissance, but it is fascinating. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XddLDufkaig Edited February 2, 2012 by simka2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm not Orthodox (not yet...LOL) but dh has a link on our church's site to some good icon pictures and info that might be a help. It's here. Also, here's a little handout and some info from a class he taught--for adults, but maybe some info would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictures of God: A Child's' Guide to Understanding Icons An Orthodox church that has a lending library might be willing to lend this to you (if they have it). Just a thought!

simka2 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I had the privileged of working with a Russian Iconographer last Fall. While he was here in Houston he made the time to visit this collection, and purchased this book for his own use. I was able to look through this huge, museum quality book, and highly recommend it. It is called Imprinting the Divine. https://www.menil.org/secure/ancient.php I imagine it is quite pricey as it is a large coffee table size book, but it was impressive! We actually used this book to finish off the specific filigree designs for our church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
