"...the Christian who ignores art agrees with a secular view of art--the art has no ultimate meaning for life nor does it reveal the God who is there...In an area where the church believes itself to be more holy by ignoring music, film, poetry, literature, and the plastic arts, it actually looks more like modernist than it does Christian."
I really like what Hudson has to say in his reading Do Christians Need Art. I think there is a lot of meaning behind his message. I think in todays world there aren't as many people informed on the music, poetry, literature, and plastic arts in Christianity.
Art definitely has a meaning for life. Art is very powerful. Art displays so much meaning without words, you just have to be able to depict the meaning by studying the image. The image of God can be revealed in every work of art. The problem is in todays world is that no one takes the time to look into the meanings of what art displays. Most of the times people are just content with looking at an image and seeing the creativity and color it has to offer. It all takes time though and most people don't want to find the meaning of life in an image. Until they are willing to do that art won't be as important as it should be in the lives of Christians.
