BECOMING AN ICONOGRAPHER REGISTRATION
Information regarding the course and the registration form are here: The resulting workshop experience enables participants to create and grow through their icon making, developing spiritually through each icon. He has contributed to the development of unique teaching methods as a member of the School’s faculty. Nikita studied for years as an apprentice to his father, complimented by postgraduate theological studies in Paris and the US. From there, the Prosopon School of Iconography founded by Vladislav has spread throughout the US to Europe and Russia. His father, Vladislav Andrejev, an iconographer and instructor, moved to America in the 1980s. If you have prior experience with the Prosopon technique and are wishing to continue your practice please contact us at may be possible to accommodate different levels of experience on this course.ĭeacon Nikita Andrejev is an iconographer-instructor who has learnt his craft through a lifetime immersion.
The class also welcomes experienced icon painters whom have not painted in the Prosopon style & are interested to experience the technique & approach or those whom value repeating this particular icon. The icon written during this course will be of Archangel Michael. The symbolic meaning of the iconic forms, as well as the materials and the processes involved, will therefore all play a part in the practice. The practice of crafting an icon will be enhanced by the study of the theological world view from which the practice emerged. Over the course of this 7-day iconography course, students will learn the contemplative practice of icon writing using the ancient art of liquid egg tempera technique.
