Creative Challlenge: Details

Details
 The old saying says, “The devil’s in the details,” but God’s Word tells us something else. Romans 1:20 tells us “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” (NIV) The evidence of God is seen in what he has created. Today’s project delves deeply into that. Go out into nature and find something God has created. Now look at it very closely. Look at the intricacies of it, the minute details, in short. look at how God made it work. Now take that item into your creative space and create something based on those minute details that show us the evidence of God.

Something to Fire Up Your Creativity…Part 1

I found this on YouTube by graffiti artist Blu in collaboration with David Ellis. It is one of the most creative things I have ever seen. I don’t know that it’s anything any of our members could make happen (though if you have access to an abandoned building, let me know) but my hope is that it will inspire you to think outside the box with your own gifts and creativity. Check it out.

From time to time, my plan is to share these types of things as prompts to get you thinking outside the box. I don’t know this artist and have not seen all of his work so if you decide to look further into his work I can’t guarantee what you will find. While I never ceased to be impressed by graffiti as an art form, I don’t endorse graffiti unless it is done in a place where you have the permission of the property owner. AMOKArts’ philosophy is that art should always be done as a blessing and never as a way of defacing something belonging to someone else.
