My experience in the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) was one that I won’t soon forget. I found being surrounded by all of these beautiful pieces of art to be an amazing feeling.

If anything, it enhanced my experience. During my time at the DIA there was one particular piece of art that did catch my eye: Ellen’s Isle, Loch

The beauty in literate and film is the ability of the artist to mold themes and motifs to fit unusual circumstances and even give them multiple layers. The skill of applying a common trope to not just one obvious character but many within the narrative allows the story to relate to the human experience on a deeper level. Perhaps the most commonly explored trope is that of “sins of the past” specifically their effect on several generations. Director Guillermo del Toro represent this theme in his movie

The painting, The Dispute between Minerva and Neptune over the Naming of the City of Athens by René-Antoine Houasse, can relate to the book, The Odyssey by Homer, because when looking at the painting many predictions can be made about The Odyssey in relation to the painting. For instance, the most noticeable fact when looking at this painting is the possible conflict between the characters (a man vs man conflict).

Christian Art is an entryway into the artist’s emotions, dedication, and sacrifice, displaying their devotion and love for God. During the Middles Ages, artist expressed their feelings through paintings, mosaics, and sculptures. The rich colors, beautiful architecture, and carefully carved statues are just a few reasons Christian Art is important to the Gospel today.

Art has a clever way of evoking feelings and even moods. You can look at a painting with heavy tones of red and it’ll give off a mood of anger or love.

The age old phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words”, is a lie, and Sontag’s essay assures us of that. Words can carry knowledge, an ability
