Presentations

University of Dallas Ministry Conference

October 28-29, 2011
I will be presenting the following session:
Understanding Contemporary Art & It’s Place in Worship
“Contemporary art is our own, the work of artists of our time and place, and belongs in our celebrations as surely as we do. If liturgy were to incorporate only the acceptable art of the past, conversion, commitment and tradition would have ceased to live.”
     Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy
     National Conference of Catholic Bishops
To pass our beliefs to future generations, we need to communicate to everyone, especially our youth, in our contemporary visual language. This session will help you understand and explore new ways to translate our rich symbolism, traditions and beliefs into vibrant contemporary art. Learn ways to introduce art catechesis to broaden understanding of new forms of expression, regardless of their age differences and personal journeys. Let’s draw on the power of our art to create awe inspiring worship space to foster prayer.
