Art History Final
The final for my art history class was a paper and project based on the Venus of Willendorf and the Venus sculptures. The final pictures of the quilt still need to be taken.

Developing a religion
This is a question from my art history take home test. I thought it was a silly question, but my professor loved it, so I thought I would post my answer.
If you developed your own belief system, how would it be structured?
My belief system would be based on Polytheism. There would be several deities based on artistic technique and materials. There would be five main gods that would oversee all of the apostles. The five main gods would be the god of Line, the god of shape, the god of texture, the god of value and the god of color. The technique apostles would consist of Paint, Pen, Pencil, digital, music, film, fabric, wood, beads, clay, glass, plastic, adhesive, paper and metal. Each god would be worshipped every morning with a morning prayer reciting the definitions of each god, along with a quick run off of all of the apostles. Once a year there would be a gift to the gods in the form of an art show. Everyone who followed my belief system would have to practice good karma, so that they would be open to good art, along with weekly visits to a large studio where we all drew together for an hour. You would also be required to put up a studio in your house along with the photos of each god. Upon birth, each new child would be given portraits from each of the members as a way of baptizing him or her into the belief system. Upon death, we would be cremated, mixed into paint and a portrait painting would be made to hang on the wall of the large studio, so we could all visit it once a week. The name of my belief system would be TRA.
