Art Sparks Desire
One of the reflection questions Dr. Redick asked the class was,
“How does art spark a desire for something more than our everyday experience?”
I wrote this question on a post-it note and stuck it on my bulletin board and thought about it for a few days.
I think this desire is instilled in us because we encounter something beautiful and it points us to the divine. We realize that it is a work of creation and that it reproduces in some way the beauty already created in our world and among each other.
Art reminds us of our longing for things to be made right and beautiful, to give us a small taste of the sacred by being set apart from the mundane.
