This is one of three journal entries (below) where I re-purposed one previously created journal page (left). In the original entry, I used the journal to create lists and identify three aspects of Artsy Theology: (1) In the center of the page I listed the key theological themes commonly included in a formal theological education. (2) The left side includes a list of the variety of art techniques which can be incorporated in mixed media art reflection. (3) The right side lists the varieties or types of ways artsy theology can be incorporated into a life of faith for spirituality and discipleship. I realized it was too much to reflect on all three lists within one single journal entry so I photographed the completed page and then printed it one-to-one in B&W on an inkjet printer. I cut the page apart and each of the three sections became the key theme for a second reflection.
