In His Image Art and Joyful Sound Music 9-12: Christian Symbolism in Fine Art

In Christian Symbolism in Fine Art for homeschoolers between grades 9 and 12, our focus is specifically on the Christian influence on art today.  The Christian focus in homeschools across the country is never more relevant than in the study of fine art. Go back to the beginning with our homeschool art history course and learn how the symbols of Christianity first made their way into popular art.  Some of the topics covered in this homeschool fine art course include an introduction to symbolism along with an introduction to Christian symbolism; Early Christian, Medieval Art and Illuminated manuscripts are also examined.
