Christian Art

Christian art is sacred art produced in an attempt to illustrate, supplement and portray in tangible form the principles of Christianity, though other definitions are possible. 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. Images of Jesus and narrative scenes from the Life of Christ are the most common subjects, and scenes from the Old Testament play a part in the art of most denominations. Images of the Virgin Mary and saints are much rarer in Protestant art than that of Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy.

I am amaze with the Christian arts because creating there art is not easy to do. Some of Christian arts take long time to be made. There architectures are really constructed and designed well.

I think the early Christian art hasn't affected me in creating designs and artworks because Christian art is hard for me. Even though Christian art doesn’t influence me in creating art, It helps me more familiar with their art, architectures, churches and even some people in their era. I learned many things in our History of Art subject.
