how i planned to do some class work

For my final presentation in my art criticism class, i would like to discuss present state of spirituality within the art world in contrast to the spirituality of those out side of the art world. My position is that we need a new way of understanding our position within the time and space of the universe. More importantly,that there should be more of this type of work. i feel this way because i understand that from the beginning man has invented his religion in an attempt to explain his conditions. if we understand this, then why should we have settled with our first guess. With the resent discoveries in science, i find it hard to remain within any religious group. although i understand and respect many of our woulds' religions, i find them to be problematic and detrimental to the advancement of mankind. the reason why the art world should be the ones to make a change: people look to the news and to the government and to the church and to schools to tell them all that they need to know. Though i feel that this type of practice is not to be shunned, i have realized that the "rhetoric" is what inspires the pens of their scribes and the "rhetoric that fleas the mouth of their orators. this realization lead me to the conclusion that art, whether it be poetry, music, film, or high art; is the only means for an individual to have complete control over there message. without the need to fit into preexisting religious groups, artist can offer something that would be pure, as the idea admittedly came from the mind of a human and still embodies many of the same positive morals shared world wide. art should be the news! go to the gallery for your politics and world event coverage. have a nice day people...

if you read this far...i think your cool. if you read this far you deserve to get the real plan for my final project. i will discuss the work of fine artist Burton Callicott, in relation to spirituality in art. my position is that, i would simply like to see more spirituality in art. the why; art was originally used for spiritual practices. the cave in Lascaux's, France. in the year 2008, i do not propose that we focus only on the spiritual...for there are many issues that need to be addressed. i only ask that we do not forget. to think beyond the worldly q&a, for the universal truths and testimonies.
