OP art in high school sucks... They expected me to write a report on how only some artists diplay spirituality... So I did... But, instead of writing about how some artists express spirituality though art, I wrote about how all artists display spirituality...
My teacher gave me a D-...
Why???
Because aparently an artwork isn't spiritual if it isn't based on the christian beliefs in the bible...
REALLY???
Art is supposed to be the expression of your spirituality, whether or not people understand your artwork's concept. Art is an insight of the world through the artists eyes, not the eyes of anyone else. So who are we to judge whether or not someone's artwork is "spiritual" or not. Just because the artwork has nothing to do with the bible, doesn't mean that it isn't spiritual...
There are other religions out there besides Christianity...
An artwork doesn't even have to be based on a religion to be spiritual... It could be about life choices, stories, mythology, etc.
The point I'm trying to raise is...
Who are we to judge whether or not someone's work is spiritual or not?
Christianity is not a cult... I know that for a fact. Christianity is less strict and 'religious' then catholics for one. So thats something I have to disagree with... other then that... Stupid teacher :)
