New Art Forms By Emily Jankauski, Kim Harden, Jennifer Lovett, Easton Adkisson, and Charity Stratford
Thesis In the postmodern period, the tendency towards plurality and diversity has resulted in some new forms of art that artists use to express their unique ideas and beliefs; each of these art forms can be examined through a Christian worldview.
Purpose Through detailed descriptions of some of these new art forms, we intend to show how they display the diversity in our postmodern age as well as how we can respond to them.

“From the beginning of my career, my main artistic motivation was to rediscover, transform and share neglected ideas from the past. I have been fortunate to be able to share my work with millions of people. I hope that my work will eventually inspire other artists to learn more about the vast and rich patrimony of European Art, so that others can enjoy the wealth of ideas that is often hidden with the passage of time.”
A Christian Perspective - Sense of curiosity - Evangelism
