Art

I think I like art even though I don’t always understand it. There is some amazing stuff out there. There is also some really weird stuff. Okay, great. But come one, there are the examples of art in the book that shouldn’t be called art. Hell, I can crinkle up a piece of paper, even two if you’d like, and place it on a piece of glass. How is this art? If you want to give me money, I’ll call it art, sure.

I like to be artistic. I can barely draw a stick figure; thankfully art is more than just drawing. The church needs to stop fearing art and begin to reincorporate it back into its liturgy, its whole way it communicates itself and its message. Art can access a part of our brains that mere words can not. Isn’t that why they say a picture is worth a thousand words? Art can illuminate, develop and help discover new ways of thinking. We need this.
