#questionoftheweek week9

I feel like the art world is the whole world in itself. The world is made by a Creator so everything in it is something that God created. I do not believed that there is nothing in the world that is not creative. I love how some scientists “discover” new things in the world, and it seems creative, but in reality, it is nothing new that God does not know about because he already made it, it just was not discovered. So it is only new to humans, to be honest. Since God is our creator, he has given us creative minds, which is why we are able to come up with new things everyday. Art is even the simple things that surround us. The sunset/sunrise, our neighbors, the carpet we have in our living room, the architecture of the house we are in and so much more. I feel like we do not realize the amount of art that is in this world, but there is so much. Food is also art in itself, and the different combinations and the way that food taste. I believe that art has been very meaningful to me. I constantly look for inspiration before I start most things, by going on Pinterest. If creative people who are artists, were not one Pintrest then I would not be able to find inspiration from that. I was in high school and I needed to do an art project for my class. I had to pick a type of art project to do, and was able to combine the thoughts in my head with the things I looked up on Google. The internet is a wild place that is filled with a bunch of art and connection that I was able to find. I now keep my pop art art project with me wherever I go because I am pretty proud of it. Sometimes, people need a jumpstart to become creative which is why I appreciate and use the internet and Pintrest. This question is not irrelevant because it is able to make somebody think about the art around us that we sometimes can brush off.

I personally feel as though art was more relevant within the church during previous centuries. When I think of art in the church, I think of older artists like Michael Angelo, but not many modern day artists come to mind. However, I think art is important in the church because it can tell stories that words can’t, which is important since Christianity itself is difficult to understand with words.
