      I doubt there is a generally agreed-upon definition of what constitutes art. I think of it as a creative expression that requires more personal judgement and taste than any measurable metric or science. If you can automate it, it is probably not art.

      I’m looking forward to reading what other people give as an answer to this one.

      Yes, I just googled “quotes about art” and this one stood out. Does Christian creativity help others to “see” God? Does Christian art point others towards Him? Can only Christian art do that! Does the artist have to be a Christian for their work to give glimpses of God?
      Hmmmm….

        These are all excellent questions, and I hope someone has excellent answers, which, sadly, I do not.

        I may or may not be thinking about this all evening now.
