Connecting Christianity to art...

In Bible class throughout the duration of our passion projects, we were asked to think about how what we are doing can connect to our Christian faith. I discovered that there are many things that can connect this project and art to living our lives as Christians. First of all, we can enjoy God's beauty, order, and creation through doing artwork ( especially if the art we are doing is inspired by or is a picture of nature.) by doing this we can see and recognise the beauty of creation and the fantastic order that God has created everything in. We can see more of God when we enjoy what He has made, and we can learn to see the beauty in everyday things.
Secondly, when we create we are reflecting the image of God, who is the ultimate creator. We are made in His image, so we are reflecting this when we create things ourselves, being inspired by and in awe of Him and his creation. It can even be a form of worship, in a way.
Those are just a few ways how we can connect Christianity to art. We can apply our Christian faith in all aspects of our lives, and we should, whether its our hobbies, careers, or lifestyle. That is definitely a big part of being a Christian.
