"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." Aristotle
C.S. Lewis explained the right way to look at a work of art when he said: "We sit down before a picture in order to have something done to us, not that we may do things with it. The first demand any work of art makes upon us is surrender. Look. Listen, Receive."
Were so used to flipping through channels on our t.v's. and scanning through messages and emails on our phones that we've become a society of scanners rather than lookers.
One of the beautiful things about creating art is that it causes you to stop, really stop to look and ponder and connect with your creativity. For me personally, it's a spiritual experience. When I listen to that still small voice within that guides and directs me and gives me insight, it's very spiritual. My best paintings are the result of a simple prayer, "Dear God, please inspire me and give insight to this endeavor."
Below, please enjoy these beautiful works of art by my wonderful, creative, and awesome students.
