The Prosopon School of Iconology
Since I have been studying iconography through Prosopon School of Iconology workshops, I want to offer the following background data and information on the school, their workshops and a link to their webpage.
The Prosopon School of Iconology was founded by master iconographer Vladislav Andrejev. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Mr. Andrejev received a formal education in fine art. He became interested in religious art and studied icon and fresco painting with a monk icon-writer. Mr. Andrejev emigrated to the United States and has been teaching iconography since 1985, during which time thousands of his students have been introduced to this ancient Christian art form.
Over the years Mr. Andrejev’s iconographic technique and teaching method developed into a distinct school of painting and interpretation, which is based on the work of Saint Andrei Rublev. In 2000 he formally established The Prosopon School of Iconology with the blessings of his hierarchs, to promote his unique technique and method and to promote the understanding of iconography and iconology.
The Prosopon School of Iconology offers 6-day intensive workshops in iconography/iconology at various locations in North America, and weekly icon painting classes in New York City, NY, Whitney Point, NY, Brookfield, VT, Altadena, CA, and Palmyra, VA.
