13th Century Sacred Art Class

AVID CLAYTON, Thomas More College Artist-in-Residence, will be offering a four-day sacred art class at Thomas More College from Monday to Thursday during the Spring Break, March 10-13. The cost to those from outside the college is $525 for the four days, and includes all materials (for egg tempera painting), tuition, lunch, and a lecture in the evening. For and additional $15 per day dinner can be included. There is a local hotel that offers favorable rates to those connected to TMC and has a free shuttle to and from the campus.

Students will study the English gothic style that is often described as the school of St Albans. Its leading artist in the 13th century was a monk called Matthew Paris. Typical images are similar to those found in the Westminster Psalter.
