Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better--- Andre Gide |
What is Art?
Art surrounds us. It’s unavoidable.
Art is hard to define because it’s so individual and variable in form.
Art tells who we are as people. It reveals our soul, our heart. It says humans are more than a collection of molecules and chemicals. We aren’t mere happenstance.
Humans are thinking, ingenious, creative creatures.
Why Create Art?
We create because we are created in the Image of the First and most Amazing Artist. We are His Creation—His Masterpiece.
Like Him, we make things for the sake of making them, things that have no function except to be an expression of ourselves. This need to create is at times a compulsion. Our creations often serve no other purpose but to bring beauty and pleasure, and this is enough for us.
We make art because we want to. What other creature does that?

New Comment Policy, 2018: I like discussion, so feel free to comment, even if you don’t agree with me. If I’m not abducted I’ll respond within a week. If you notice something spell check missed, I will correct it with a big thanks. I’m always up for some constructive criticism. I love links to new places relevant to the post. However, there are a few things I don’t let hang out here: Spam. Excessive profanity, disparaging comments, irrelevant comments or links, links to more than one place. These will be deleted.
