This website provides information and resources to support the teaching and learning of Art of Faith in Norfolk and the region. It has been developed as part of Norwich Castle’s major temporary exhibition Art of Faith, and forms a lasting legacy. It supports primarily Key Stage 3 religious education but may also be used in a cross-curricular way particularly with art & design and history. Some aspects are also suitable for Key Stage 2 and 4 learners.
The Art of Faith: 3500 years of Art & Belief in Norfolk
Saturday 2nd October 2010 till Sunday 23rd January, 2011
This major exhibition celebrates the diversity of faith in Norfolk over three thousand years – from Romans, Anglo-Saxons & Vikings to Medieval Jewish communities; different branches of Christianity from the 15th century including Lollards, Catholics, Calvinists, Puritans, Huguenots and Quakers; to present day when a new pattern of diversity includes Sikhs, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Baha’is, Pagans and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as well as communities of Jews and Christians.
The exhibition focuses on works of art and other objects made to serve or give material form to the
different faiths in Norfolk – including paintings, sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, prayer books, religious vestments, film and photographic work. It explores the relationship between locality, faith, conflict and creativity.
The Art of Faith is a collaborative exhibition produced by Norfolk Museums & Archaeology Service in partnership with the School of World Art Studies and Museology at the University of East Anglia. It is funded with the support of the Arts and Humanities Research Council
