Program Description

The School of Sacred Art in collaboration with IUL, Telematic University of Studies, offers a master’s degree taught in a blended mode .

The title of the Master assigns 60 ECTS (University Educational Credits).

Duration

The Master is articulated in 1500 hours of didactic activity divided into two parts: the first one of theoretical learning takes place online, the second one of practical exercise will be held in the laboratories of the Sacred Art School.

Recipients

The master is aimed at postgraduate students with a three-year degree especially in the following fields: arts, architecture, art history, theology.

Graduate students from the Academies of Fine Arts.

It is open to teachers of art, literature, religion at higher education institutions and to those responsible for sacred art in the dioceses.

And finally, to all those who, in possession of a three-year degree, intend to deepen their knowledge of Sacred Art both from a practical point of view, to upgrade their artistic production skills, and a theoretical point of view, to better understand its deeper meaning.

Goals

The Master in Sacred Art aims at offering theoretical and practical training in the field of sacred and religious art. This sector, deeply rooted in Italian culture and tradition constitutes a significant percentage of the Italian artistic heritage.

The graduate from the Master in Sacred Art will be able to design and create works of fully contemporary art in continuity with the Christian tradition.

The acquisition of artistic and artisanal techniques (painting, sculpture, goldsmithing), which is an important part of the program, is in dialogue with the theoretical subjects that contribute to the original, and interdisciplinary scientific framework of the course. The theoretical training will allow the student to read the sacred art of the past and present time, not only from an aesthetic point of view but also from a symbolic and theological perspective.

The three specializations to choose from for the Master are Painting, Sculpture, and Goldsmithing.

Those who wish to participate only in the theoretical online part will have a reduced tuition fee and will receive a postgraduate diploma qualification.

Dates

  • Deadline: 31 March 2024
  • Start Date: March 2024 The part dedicated to laboratory practice will take place from April to June 2024 at the Sacred Art School.

About the School

The Sacred Art School is an international school rooted in Tuscany which was founded to promote creativity in art and artistic craftsmanship, with a boundless openness to the world of the sacred.

“Forward in tradition”  is the idea that characterizes us: You will learn how to design and create fully contemporary works of art, link to an artistic tradition that has twenty centuries of history.

The School, which does not adhere to any particular artistic style, is above all a workshop where students and teachers, artists and artisans meet and confront each other. As the students grow in their design and creation skills can be involved in the commissions, also learning to interact with the client and their needs.

The School offers artists to go “forward in tradition”, through tools such as:

    1. A rigorous artistic and technical training...

…that enables you to master the figurative language, as it was taught in Renaissance art workshops and in the Academies of Fine Arts. Here you will learn traditional techniques such as chisel, drawing, oil painting, clay modeling, as well as technological tools such as 3D design software.

    1. An in-depth analysis of contemporary thought...

that will help you to understand the sacred with particular attention to Catholicism.

    1. The city of Florence...

which, with its collections and cultural events, is the most important learning room, a perfect context to train new professionals related to the world of art and crafts of the highest quality.
