16.2 End of Journey

And so we arrive at the end of our journey through the arts. We’ve explored art from a vast array of times, places, and cultures. We’ve beheld its roles in affirming societies, gracing homes, commemorating lives, and challenging social elites. We’ve opened our minds to innovative techniques and enjoyed familiar genres and perspectives.

Our goal has been to explore, to sample, not to systematically memorize complex terminology. Hopefully, you have connected with some verse, some tales, some paintings or sculpture. Hopefully some of our concepts have intrigued you and opened new ways of approaching the arts. Hopefully, you are called to further exploration and discovery.

May God go with you in your life journeys, your encounters with the arts, and the challenges of living by faith!
