ADVENTIST REVIEW, JULY 5, 1984 (691) 3 Visitors to the Atlantic Union College church are helped to see God's love in the changing seasons through a panel of banners hanging on the high front walls by the rostrum. The first banner shows rain dropping from clouds, grapevines sending out tender green shoots, and blades of young wheat beginning to grow. The second shows the sun shining in its brilliance, the vines full of leaves and bunches of young grapes, the wheat tall now, with full heads of grain. The third depicts a rainbow; clusters of ripe grapes surrounding a chalice; and sheaves of wheat, sacks of flour, loaves of bread, and a silver platter of unleavened bread. Scriptural allusions blend with images of the seasons to suggest the most significant event of history and the greatest demonstra- tion of our heavenly Father's love. It is difficult to take any of the seasons for granted after reading this passage from John Donne:

God made sun and moon to distinguish seasons, and day and night, and we cannot have the fruits of the earth but in their seasons; but God hath made no decree to distinguish the seasons of his mercies; in paradise the fruits were ripe the first minute, and in heaven it is always autumn, his mercies are ever at their maturity. God never says, you should have come yesterday; he never says, you must come again tomorrow, but today if you will hear his voice, today he will hear you. He brought light out of darkness, not out of lesser light; he can bring thy summer out of winter, though thou have no spring. All occasions invite his mercies, and all times are his seasons.'

Sometimes, however, the inclusions become clear only in the original Hebrew language, because translations often use several different English words for the same Hebrew word. Primarily for this reason the discovery of the existence of inclusions in the Bible was not made until recently. In Proverbs 31 the word virtuous in verse 10, at the very beginning of the description of the ideal wife, is the same Hebrew word as virtuously in verse 29, near the end of the description (verses 30 and 31 are actually a concluding epilogue). The beginning of the story of Elijah's contest with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel in 1 Kings 18:1 contains the command "Go, . . . and I will send rain upon the earth." Verse 41, at the end of the story, recalls this command with "Get thee up, . . for there is a sound of abundance of rain."

The figure of the Shepherd and the mother sheep form a sort of triangle that dominates the space. There are a few flaws—the nose is in profile, while the face is almost frontal—but generally the effect is pleasing. The Youth's Instructor used the engraving on the cover of its bound volumes for a number of years. Another Smith engraving dealt with a social issue. In "The Curse of Our Country," which appeared in the January, 1862, Youth's Instructor, Smith depicted a small slave boy seated sadly in front of a tombstone. Again, Amadon provided the text. "Look at the little African boy in the picture," he admonished the youthful audience; "perhaps he is sitting at his mother's grave. How sad he looks! He seems to feel as though he had not a friend in the world." In this engraving, Smith has taken more care with the sky and vegetation in the background.

The need for artists skilled in the techniques of realism decreased sharply. After the invention of photography, many artists began to reevaluate their role in society. Was the artist one who was gifted in the skills of imitation and representation, or did he have a unique kind of creativity? It seemed to these artists that imagination in expression and composition was the key in clarifying this question, and therefore, an artist should not be judged by his ability to produce convincing imitations of reality (as was the case in photography), but by his ability to imagine ideas and personal feelings, expressing them in new creative ways. This is not to say that there is no longer any place for realism, or that one skilled in realistic rendering is not an artist, it is simply to say that since the invention of photography, many artists have felt compelled to experiment with new forms of art other than traditional realism. Modern art and Seventh-day Adventist artists. While traditional illustrative art has always been appreciated and encouraged in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, it was not until the middle of this century that Adventists began to experiment with modern art in its varied forms and styles. Two of the first Adventist artists who, so to speak, attempted to "put new wine into new wineskins" were Chloe Sofsky (1907-1970) and Irvin Althage (1917- ). Both of these artists have used their God-given creativity in depicting ideas in fresh new ways.

Second, some artists take organization of form as their primary concern. Michigan artist Tom Morphis has shown his interest in composition by sewing pieces of painted canvas together in various geometrical patterns in such a way that the result is a cheerful design executed in simple beauty. Based in Paradise, California, Robert Seyle has shown concern for design in constructing nail sculptures. Seyle takes what to most would seem to be artistically useless objects and assembles them into intricate patterns. Southern California artist Theo Smith, working within the tradition of op art, also has demonstrated a keen interest in design. His works are executed with exacting precision. Loma Linda artist Robert Knutson has utilized the "pro- phetic chart" format to create elaborate designs that Greg Constantine, "When He Cometh" fascinate the observer. Rather than using geometric shapes or intricate patterns as the basis for his design, Knutson lets image's limitations. In doing so, he depicts images unique to historical events dictate the pattern his works take. the twentieth century.

Humans dream, fantasize, and have subjective experiences that others cannot see, yet these experiences are as much a part of being human as what can be seen artists are trying to do, we can see that it is of value and externally.

Often we tend to like that with which we are most familiar, forgetting that learning about the unfamiliar in art may well lead to making new discoveries and experiencing new pleasures in the world of visual experience. As nature inspires us and tells us more about God, so human artistic expression can help us to understand and enjoy better the wonders and mysteries of His creation. Some like the mountains, while others like the sea, but none would say that God is a poor Creator because He created some things that they do not care for. Let us anticipate surprise in God's creation and in human beings' God-given creativity.

We can arrest the attention of the world through the aid of visual arts. •We can make contact with some who would never come to evangelistic meetings, Five-Day Plans to Stop Smoking, cooking schools, and so on. In the past the church has successfully used the medical work and our various health-oriented programs to reach people. Besides this, we always have been involved in the more traditional forms of evangelism. I believe that it is now time to try some more unconventional ways of reaching Jorgen Henriksen, "Spaces #7"

Fostering creativity Children who have learned to think for themselves in art class will be more creative in writing and problem solving.

By BOB and RUTH GARREN

It is Friday afternoon in a third-grade classroom, and the teacher is as relieved as the students. She passes out Xeroxed forms and crayons and relaxes a little in the quiet that ensues. Art class is wind-down time in this school. While the children color their pictures, the teacher sits at her desk and grades tests. The gentle rustle of papers and the rubbing of crayons is interrupted by an occasional question, Art education in Seventh-day Adventist schools runs the gamut. such as "Teacher, what color should I make this?" In another school, another third-grade art class is in artistic ability that determines the quality of the art program, progress. The children have been given large sheets of white but his knowledge of the development of creativity in paper, brown construction paper, and colored tissue paper. children and his attitude toward the art program.

Some leaves spread widely and some spread adult who gave him pointers on how to make his work more more narrowly.

There should be no right or wrong way of doing that the first class is little more than a way of passing time; the things, and no child's work should be held up as an example. other provides a valuable learning experience. The sad fact is 5. Research shows that coloring books or forms are that one teacher is not necessarily more artistically talented creativity killers. The child, unaware of the excitement and than the other. On the elementary level, where art is originality inherent in his own work, feels that it is inferior to primarily a means of self-expression, it is not the teacher's the perfection of the coloring book and soon loses confidence in it.

18 (706) ADVENTIST REVIEW, JULY 5, 1984 schools, and inadequate ones in large schools. One thing the teacher must realize is that children and adults do not view art in the same way. For most adults it is the end product that is important. For children the activity itself is of value. The teacher who is tuned in to her children's self-expression can learn a great deal about those children from their artwork. The fact is, the only justification for art education on the elementary level is to expand the child's knowledge and creativity. An art program that does not do this for a child is a waste of time. Ideally the art class should be a scheduled class in the curriculum with enough time allowed for creation and cleanup. Though every art teacher would like to have a room just for art, with good light, sinks, and big tables, terrific results have been achieved by teachers in less-than- perfect situations. Most of us stopped developing artistically at about the age of 12. At this age we became self-conscious and more aware of peer pressure. It is at about this age that technique can begin to be taught. On the secondary level Adventist schools tend to fall behind public schools. Rare is the academy that does not have some kind of music education. Choirs, bands, string groups, and handbell choirs abound, and as a result, in this widely accepted, highly visible, uncontroversial area Adventist young people tend to excel. The reasons for this are obvious. Music is used as a public-relations and The only justification for art education on the elementary level recruiting tool.

It's harder to measure the results, and the impact on one's life offered for the first time in the fall of 1984 with classes taught is much more subtle.

AUC's Adult Degree Program offers these unique advantages: ( 1 ) You can get college credit for experiential learning. (2) You can study in areas not included in conventional courses. For example, you might structure a unit's work around the work you are currently doing, or around travel plans. (3) You have a study supervisor whom you know well, and who is always as near as your phone, willing to give you any help you need. An accredited B.A. or B.S. is possible in most areas of college study. Among the many degrees al- ready granted in the ADP have been majors in the following areas: Behavioral Science, Elementary Education, Religion, Communications, Music, Business Administration, Health Science, En- glish, Mathematics, Interior Design, Humani- ties, Art Education, and others. The Seminar, a two-week session in January and July, begins each unit's work and gives you an intense group ex- perience. Mini-courses, presentations by students finishing units, library work, the preparing of a proposal and getting started on the unit's work are all part of the two-week pro- gram. The Seminar experience, say stu- dents in the program, carries them through the months of working in a more individual way off-campus. Requirements: 8 units required for graduation; a unit equals one semester's work. Students must be 25 or over. Some previous college work is desir- able, though exceptions are sometimes made.
