Airbrushed from Art History?

Jonathan Evens — Mon, 18 May 2009 07:13:13 +0000

I’m posting to ask whether you would be prepared to help with a Personal Development project that I am currently undertaking. The project involves me firstly in reviewing and updating my reading on Christian influences on Modern and Contemporary Art and secondly in posting summaries of these influences at my blog (http://joninbetween.blogspot.com/search/label/art%20history).

Creating meaning in artwork- request for views

admin — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 10:53:24 +0000

I am a final year Textile Craft student and for my monograph (Much like a disertation) I am researching and writting about meaning within Artwork. I am especially looking at Christian Artwork. If anyone has any information on this topic i would be very appreciatative. My main questions are…

1. Does Artwork have to have a meaning or can beauty be enough of a meaning?
2. As an artist is it their job to create work with a meaning or us as the viewer?
3.

Photographer seeks advice on prints

admin — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:21:33 +0000

Posted by Admin on behalf of Emma

I was wondering about how I’d go about selling my prints. I have worked in film recently, printing my own 10×8″ prints, but that requires a darkroom which I no longer have access to, so I would have to have them commercially printed, along with the newer digital images. Could you recommend a company, possibly online, that others in Veritasse use, or point me in the direction of someone who’d know? I was thinking of offering options on unframed or framed prints and greetings cards/postcards to keep costs to a minimum.

Amazing Christian artists

Sue N — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 08:51:21 +0000

Dear Everyone,

I have just seen an amazing piece of perfomance art on this Youtube link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svL1GuxxpvA

Marc Eckel paints Jesus’ face large, live and with his hands! It is very inspiring.

Let me know if you come across any really inspiring Christian art examples.

Creative role models

Jonathan Evens — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 16:25:11 +0000

Who are your role models when it comes to creating as a Christian?

I find Rouault an inspiration for the way he combines compassion and critique, Chagall for the way in which reconciliation informs every aspect of his work from content through to construction, Albert Herbert for the freedom and depth of his style and imagery, Norman Adams for the vibrancy of his use of colour, and John Reilly for the way in which he depicts the oneness and unity of God’s invisible power binding all things into one whole.

Using art in the community.

Sue N — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 19:14:45 +0000

Does anyone have examples of churches using art in the community, either for outreach or to encourage working in partnership with other organisations?

Our church, King’s Church, Uckfield, has either a float or a walking part in the Uckfield Carnival each year. It is a recognised part of our outreach and we always give out Alpha invitations which are linked with our theme of the year. We encourage everyone to be involved in some way, though not everyone can walk. This year we had very colourful yellow, orange and red costumes and did lots of dancing and singing.
