Reflecting Theologically by Creating Art:Giving Form to More Than We Can Say
Keywords:
Art, adult learningAbstract
Imagine being a theology student in my course Doing Theology Aesthetically. I have invited you and the other students to choose a personally significant theological question about which you have strong feelings, to gather objects from home that express associations with, aspects of, or feelings about the question, and to bring the items to class to create a mixed-media sculpture.1 Think for a moment about your question and consider what items you would collect. Notice your experience of this mental exercise or perhaps your reaction to the prospect of doing it.Downloads
