APPENDIX A “A Blank Stare or Active Engagement? Toward a Christian Approach to the Arts” By C. Scott Shidemantle, Ph.D.1 Introduction I remember one of the first times that I visited the Carnegie Art Museum in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh. As I browsed the various rooms, observing people looking pensively at the various works of art hanging on the walls, this question went through my mind: “What am I supposed to do while I’m here? Should I just sit and contemplate each piece with a blank stare like many of the other people in the room seemed to be doing? And, if so, what should I contemplate? Should I contemplate the brush strokes? Should I try to get into the head of the original artist who produced the piece? Should I focus on how the artwork ‘makes me feel’?” I felt like I needed some guidance! These questions became even more profound when I began to add to them the issue of whether or not my Christian faith should or should not interact in some way with my experience with the arts. Perhaps you have had similar experiences. The purpose of this brief essay is to give some reflections on what art “is” and what art “does,” and to propose some ideas on how you as a Christian might engage art meaningfully—beyond simply the “blank stare” approach. Situating Art in the Cultural Mandate After creating Adam and Eve, God instructed them to, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air…” (Genesis 1:28 NIV). This “filling” of the earth with humans, and cultivating the creation by drawing out its potential through developing it, is called by theologians “the Cultural Mandate.” What is the “Cultural Mandate”? Simply put, it is the call on all human beings to link together with shared values to communally cultivate God’s creation in God-honoring ways. Generally speaking, how does the Cultural Mandate relate to “art” and the call to some to be artists? We might say that art, and the call to be an artist, is “creational.” That is, God built into particular humans the ability to create “art” as one of the means by which we create and sustain human culture. In fact, we find that in the subsequent chapters of Genesis, where the playing out of the Cultural Mandate is portrayed, there are references to individuals who initiated various types of artistic expression. For example, there are Jubal (the father of music; Genesis 4:21) and Tubal-Cain (the father of metal working; Genesis 4:22). Behind the first of these two individuals we can perhaps picture in our minds groups of humans gathered together to hear music played on lyre and flute for the first time and being drawn together by that shared experience. This shared experience served to forge a “link,” or a shared “culture,” between those humans. 1 C. Scott Shidemantle (Ph.D. Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Th.M.
