Review on Mormon Artist Interview

So first off, great job too everyone. It was fun to see different perspectives into what it means to be a Mormon Artist. Now to the two interviews that I am supposed to review:

Nephi,

So it was fun to see that you also chose to interview an animator. It was interesting to me to contrast the animation student with my own interview of an animation professor. I really liked how your interview touched on understanding the way people understand and accept art and how that understanding is vital to produce appropriate art. A large part of the art we create, at the very least much of the meaning that can be drawn from it, is unintentional and so it was really cool to see that he understood that and was going to create what he felt he needed to regardless. It's really interesting to think that being a Mormon Artist requires us to be bold in our desire to share what we can create, even though it might offend someone who interacts with it. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Rhonda,

I really enjoyed the interview of a child. I hadn't even thought about how a child views himself or herself as an artist. Like all things childlike, it felt very pure and very right. I really liked his focus on the idea that he believed he was good at art, and sculpting in particular, because God wanted him to be and so he had a purpose to use that talent correctly. That just really struck out to me and I realized that I also need to use the talents God has given me for his purposes. Thanks!
