The Neo-Coptic style is the only contemporary form of iconography in the Orthodox Church (Eastern and Oriental).  It represents the latest development in this ancient sacred artistic tradition. Its hieratic style, uncluttered designs and powerful symbolism are much reminiscent of its Pharaonic antecedents.

 

This unique course will take the student step by step through the creation of an icon of the Holy Face according to the canons of the Neo-Coptic School.  Suitable for students of all levels.
