I just really liked how it seemed the original artwork is supposed to be holy but then the modern touch makes it very visually pleasing.

“What does it mean to be a Christian artist?”
When it comes to art I think about how art is a a form of creation and that makes me think about how God created everything. So I could look at it as a way that creating art or creating anything in general is a way to get close to God because that is the first thing that got it. He created the earth he created humans so by creating art we are getting closer to God and his original form.

“What makes an artwork good or bad?”
I think this question is too vague too be honest with you everyone looks at art differently. Good art for me can look like bad art for someone else. Labels like good or bad are way to vague and there is more to art then that.

“ Why would artists choose to collaborate? What are the benefits and drawbacks of collaboration?”
I think the artist used to collaborate to maybe create art that is different from their norm and to maybe get a better experience of what is like with other people. Obviously the benefit would be have two mindset together can sometimes help when it comes to making art but it can also create forms of disputes. These disputes could be who gets to do what who has more power or things like that.

“What makes something a work of art?”
It depends personal person. To me a work of art can be many things but for others it could be only paintings or only digital art. So I think that it really depends on the person. I don't really like to put or create categories to justify what a piece of art is.

“How does context-where we see and engage with art effect the way we perceive its value?”
I think that it affects the way we feel. For example if I was to look at art during the day I feel a different way by then looking at art at night. Also the place that were the art-piece is can affect the way you look at it. Like if the art was in a sunny area you're gonna look at it in a different way rather than an art piece that is in a dark room.

“Must an artist have an identifiable style? what are the benefits of having or not having a style?”
I don't think an artist must have an identical style but I feel like most artist have something that they always do when they make art. By having a sense of an identical style it gives you a marker so people can know that you may be or even if you didn't sign it. But not having a style can make it so that you can create a lot of different styles and explore different ways to create art.

“What are the subjects, issues, and themes important to assist working today?”
I think that it gives them a goos base to start off with. Also subjects, issues, and themes help me do research when it comes to making an art piece or just in general searching for art.

“How do history and the passage of time affect the meaning of an artwork?”
I think that as humans we tend to look back on the pass to reflect on the present and maybe on the future. So I think people look on art through the history to connect or compare how their art would be right now. And as the time changes and events happen we look at art or things differently. The experience definitely has to do with it and the more experience you had as in the more time passes you know that you look at things differently.

“In what ways can art be political?What does political art look and sound like?”
It can be political by what you draw or behind the message. In a way I think art is political and I don't mean political like politics and government and stuff but political as an intellectual. We can also make part about political matters, I mentioned earlier in one of my questions about black life matters and that is a political issue and we can make art on that as a PSA.

“Who decides what is beautiful?”
You do. Everyone has their own way of interpreting and seeing things, so everyone perceives art differently. I could find something that is truly beautiful but someone else could find the flaws in it. So it really depends on the individual and to be honest I don't really think there's a definition to beauty and there can be beauty and everything

“How have the tools and materials of assist changed over time?”
I'm actually in art history class so I'm learning a lot about tools and materials artist use in the early Renaissance and Gothic era. And I learned about how pigmented came from eggs, dirt or food. And now we can buy markers at our local store so it has changed a lot and has come a really really long way.
