Pilgrimage is a popular theme in many different forms of art.
As is the case with all art, these pieces expressing the notion of pilgrimage are representative of an aspect of culture.
The gallery itself places great emphasis on culture, in all its aspects, with pilgrimage chosen as one of its major themes.
By exploring the artistic expression in the written and visual media relating to pilgrimage, and, by proxy, culture, the gallery effects a rich style of learning.
Canterbury Tales, being the literary work studied in the course of the production of the gallery, is taken to be representative of literature working with the theme of pilgrimage. Click here for more information.
In the exploration of visual arts having pilgrimage as the central theme, simple simulations of stained glass windows have been produced. Students worked directly with concepts manifested in original stained glass windows in the design of their own.
