This section of Skill-Based Art: A Learning Resource for Art Students & Artist-Teachers™ is dedicated to the spiritual, intellectual and aesthetic development of the art student and artist-teacher. The following content has been developed with the premise that technical formation and learning one’s craft through arduous, skill-based training is only half of the vocation of the artist. The other half comprises the development of the artist’s interior life.
The following content does not focus on artists per se. Rather, an academic dialogue with religious ranging from priests, philosophers and lay people will be provided, the subjects of which are ontologically committed to the Christian teachings of the Holy Bible. Skill-Based Art believes that it is through masterful facility with a pencil, brush or chisel and the cultivation of mind, heart, body, soul and spirit that the foundation of a refined and enlightened sensibility develops within the artist, and humanist art is ultimately born.
