In Echoes of Eden (2013), Jerram Barrs argues that there are certain objective standards that should be used in assessing the quality of art. While he acknowledges that there is value in having our own opinions about whether we "like or dislike" a creative expression, he explores eleven categories that serve as a concrete framework for analyzing art from a Biblical worldview.
When preparing for any creative project, we can benefit from anticipating how our work will be analyzed once it's completed. As a result, it's important to strategically consider (and plan accordingly) how we might excel within each area.
The three categories below are a part of the eleven categories presented by Barrs. In 2-3 pages (formatting per APA standards), address these elements in your narrative:
- Technical Excellence
Question 1: Locate a minimum of two additional outside sources relating to the specific artistic techniques needed for your project, and explain at least one key point from each source that will influence the technical execution of your project.
- Continuity of Form and Content
Question 2: Within your project, how will the form (techniques) mirror the content (message)?
- The Presence of Truth
Question 3: How will your project align with some type of universal truth that we see in reality? Think of the specific message/theme that you are presenting to your audience and how that will be presented.
