VISUAL ARTS
The visual arts provide knowledge about God’s world and ways of experiencing it that is unique and different from that gained through verbal and written language. As a universal language through which we can express our common aspirations, art is a channel to understanding and appreciating the cultural and religious heritage of others, as well as our own.
