Chapter I describes a personal artwork that expresses the linkage between the writer and her belief, as well as the elements selected and the format in which the artwork is presented. The central concept of the artwork is based upon Christian belief, which has had great influence on the writer. Art creation was chosen for documenting the course and concepts of my belief, building a bridge with God in a new way through the creative process, and offering the work as a praise sacrifice to the Supreme Being. In Chapter II, God's attributes are embodied through the essence of artistic creation in order to carefully examine the role of art in belief. Chapter III expounds upon the principles that the Holy Bible teaches as the core of creation; elaborates the relationship between abstract form, half-embodied form, self-reception of belief, and individual elements of the Bible; and explores how to decide on the format and content of a work from the point of view of belief. The theme and concept of an artwork influence decisions about the work’s format and content. From the point of view of belief, format and content may be diverse, and the message delivered may vary. Thus, it is important to consider the connotations of belief as well as the structure of the work. In Chapter IV, various artists’ paintings and concepts are brought into my creative thought in order to discuss phenomena and influences produced from the point of view of Christian humanist art, as well as to examine my own creative angle and concepts and to rethink the development of my work in the future. In Chapter V, the relationship between the substance of work and creative concepts are discussed. To sum up, the work of art under discussion sprouts from Christian belief, uses the Holy Bible as the main text, and integrates the artist’s own belief experiences and personal concepts of life.
