2 amazingly artistic movies based on biblical stories
Last updated on: August 31, 2023 at 1:40 pm By Melissa Ingoldsby
Biblical stories in the media The first time I had encountered a TV show or piece of media representing a biblical story or part of a scripture was when I had started babysitting as a young teenager. I had been watching these two young twin girls across the street from my house and they watched many different toddler/children TV shows and movies, like Thomas the Train. One that struck out at me in a particular way was Veggie Tales. The... Read more

Last updated on: August 25, 2023 at 11:28 am By Melissa Ingoldsby
Bullying and how a worship song brought two unlikely people together Growing up in the farm-filled Midwest, Missouri is generally considered a conservative and quiet place to live. As a budding teenager trying to figure out their identity, in that respect, it is hard to keep that balance of a conservative nature.

The Expression of Grief in Trembles: A Spiritual Study in Dance
Last updated on: August 31, 2023 at 11:59 pm By Melissa Ingoldsby
Martha Graham: the spiritual mystique of a prolific dancer that recreated the pitfall feeling of grief in trembles I was first introduced to the art of this intensely magnificent dancer, Martha Graham, from a American animated TV series created by Rebecca Sugar (Cartoon Network) called Steven Universe. The animated show, although made for children and young adults, dealt with heavy subjects such as anger, identity, fear, trauma, helplessness and grief. The character of Blue Diamond truly enveloped the latter emotion... Read more

Last updated on: July 25, 2023 at 10:17 am By Melissa Ingoldsby
The enduring legacy and the sacred religious art of Madonna and Child The relationship of the Madonna and Child in the world of religion is paramount to art history.
