Colleen Cook-painting

Dr. Redick gave us the question of how painting can be another way to connect to one's Holy. I thought about it and it is definitely a different way as opposed to reading scriptures which contain letters/words. Both are powerful and have background meaning but can have different explanations, they do have different explanations, for why they paint what they do. painting is more of an action like we talked about in class which I think can also help the group members connect with one another, kind of bond in a way. Reading scriptures is more repetitive and could lose depth of meaning if just read over and over again. We talked about how painting can maintain relationships which can be could for communities. The value can be bigger for painting because they are all different and made personally by each person which I think can make the connection between them and a Holy much stronger.
