In this video Betsey Steele Halstead walks through basic elements of visual design and how they work in the context of gathered worship.  This is a great resource for thinking through how to work with the visual arts and design in an existing church building.

CONSIDERING THE PROBLEMS AND/OR POSSIBILITIES OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Taylor Worley of Union University (TN) offers some reflections and thoughts about the state of contemporary art to frame a discussion of the problems and possibilities that accompany the contemporary art of today. Providing some context to the historical, social and religious issues surrounding art in the 20th and 21st century, he wants to encourage realistic but hopeful thinking about future trajectories in culture-shaping/making that involves the visual arts.

He writes my favorite blog - Diary of an Arts Pastor. In this video, he shares some of his thoughts about how we can bring the gospel to the art community. This video was made by Jeremy Rogers of Austin Stone Church in Austin, Texas. Jeremy came and interviewed Daniel Montgomery and a couple other folks here not too long ago when they were in the beginning stages of planning for renovating a building for their church and local community in Austin.
