David and Lorna Griffin join Jake Jacobson to discuss their most recent class at Skillman, titled "Art and Christianity," to discover how art can help to build and sustain our faith. During the course of the podcast, Lorna asks those who encounter art to consider these questions: Why do we create? How do we create? How is identity revealed in a work of art? How does a painting reflect cultural value (and what are those values)? How does the past effect the present?
Additionally, we discuss Michelangelo's David (https://mymodernmet.com/michelangelo-david-facts/ and http://www.accademia.org/explore-museum/artworks/michelangelos-prisoners-slaves/), Andrew Wyeth's Pentecost (https://www.artsy.net/artwork/andrew-wyeth-pentecost), Gerome's Jerusalem (https://fineartamerica.com/featured/jerusalem-jean-leon-gerome.html), Rembrandt's Prodigal Son (https://www.artsheaven.com/painting/artists/r/rembrandt-van-rijn/the-return-of-the-prodigal-son/), and Gustav Dore's Valley of Dry Bones (https://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-vision-of-the-valley-of-dry-bones-gustave-dore.html).
