Artsy

I was driving to Cornerstone 2011 when I started thinking about what makes an artifact a work of art. This view of things encompasses the broadest view of what art is (music, visual, experiential etc. Yes, I am presenting yet another completely subjective definition. I did this for myself. I present it here because I like to keep track of these things.

Anyway:

To put it simply, art is born when an artist or viewer claims: "Pay attention! This has meaning."


When one views God as an artist and the universe as his art, we had better be paying attention.
