This question was posed by Natalie Pozzetti.
Personally, I think that all art conveys some sort of emotion. The artist may or may not intend to instill a specific emotion in those experiencing the art, but all real art stems from emotion. Say for example that I created an abstract painting, consisting of swirling, curving lines in various shades of green. When I painted this, I was feeling refreshed, although I want to know what others get out of it. Someone looking at the painting might feel a sense of curiosity. Someone else might see hope. Although I created the painting while feeling "refreshed," I didn't necessarily want everyone who looked at the painting to feel the same way. I think it's okay to make art that is open to interpretation.
Question: What do you think about the role of religious art?
