Christian art

what is christian art?Christian art is sacred art which uses themes and imagery from Christianity. Most Christian groups use or have used art to some extent, although some have had strong objections to some forms of religious image, and there have been major periods of iconoclasm within Christianity.What is art? I've read and thought about it, but it's still a vague concept. I read a blogspot by Justin Taylor that summarized an essay by Leland Ryken asking if The Scarlet Letter is a "Christian book". Recently, I read The Christian Imagination: Essay on Literature and the Arts. It opened up the idea of art Philosophy. What is art? What is "Christian art" ? How do I create Art ? How do I enjoy art? "What would be your reaction if you’re told to have only one topic in (all) your art" ? For me, if I am given a chance to be the artist and there is only one prospective topic which is Christian art" it's okay, Because if you're an artist it doesn't matter. Even if you have only one topic you still able to make an art.

Can the Bible help us evaluate art? Consider the concepts found in Philippians 4:8: Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and ifanything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.

Let's concentrate for a few moments on this verse in order to see if it might at least provide the beginning of a framework for the evaluation and enjoyment of art.
