They Have a Point

Last week in T1, the students learned about the artwork of Georges Seurat. Georges Seurat pioneered a technique called "pointillism." 

The website "Art in Context" explains it this way: 

"The effect that this had was that in placing the dots so close to one another, they would automatically blur into an image by the eyes of viewers. This technique resembles the way computer screens work today, as the pixels on the screen resemble the dots in a Pointillism painting." 

                                       

Each child in the class had a unique interpretation of pointillism, so each piece of art is a reflection of the artist's individual style and personality. 

As I look at the artwork, I remember how God created each one of us with unique gifts, talents, and abilities, and has given each one a unique purpose. We don't all use the same methods or have the same style, but we're each meant to use our talents for the good of those around us.

"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;  and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord;  and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.  To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. " (I Corinthians 12:4-7 ESV)
