On Monday June 1st, we will hear from our resident artist John M. Seeley, DNSEP, MFA: “An Introduction to Appreciating and Reading Icons.”
John will discuss the history of icons, traditional techniques used in writing icons, and then will actually read a few of the different types of icons. He will have a slide presentation full of illustrations to guide our reflection.
John studied European Art at the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Quimper in France, receiving a Diplome National Superieur d'Expression Plastique in 1988. Upon returning to the states, he studied sculpture at the Maryland Institute, College of Art, Rinehart School of Sculpture, obtaining a MFA ('91) in Sculpture. He taught sculpture for 23 years at various institutions in Maryland. In the “90s and early 2000's John dabbled in iconography in an attempt to unite two of his passions art and Christianity. In 2012 he studied Practical Iconography at the Bethlehem Icon School in Palestine.
