Description: Liturgical Art: A visual way to Connect
This session is intended to inspire those with artistic skills - and THOSE WHO THINK THEY DON’T HAVE ARTISTIC SKILLS - to CONNECT with the artist within each of us. Just as a parable expresses the meaning of Scripture with words, Liturgical Art can expand the viewer’s understanding of the meaning of God’s message. It can prompt new ideas, thoughts, and feelings about what God is saying, opening new pathways to CONNECT with the Holy. This can be done using traditional 2-dimensional images such as on altar hangings, banners, or icons, but also in 3-dimensional installations of found or created objects such as plants, flowers, stones, bones, farm equipment, fountains, and barbed wire. We’ll reflect on scripture to discover the images and CONNECTIONS hidden within our imaginations. We’ll CONNECT in conversation, sharing ways to bring Liturgical Art into our communities and the impact it can have. As time allows, We may even develop a bit of Liturgical Art that will manifest the CONNECTION we shared in our session. Participants should PLEASE BRING WITH YOU a notebook or sketch book along with your favorite writing utensils. Also bring photos of Liturgical Art pieces that have meaning for you, whether the art is your own, or something that touches you.
