The Sheep and the Goats

31
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the
angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All
the nations will be gathered before him, and he will
separate the people one from another as a shepherd
separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the
sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you
who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the
kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the
world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave me something to
eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink, I
was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes,
and you clothed me, I was sick, and you looked after
me, I was in prison, and you came to visit me.’
37
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when
did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and
give you something to drink? 38 When did we see
you a stranger and invite you in, or needing
clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you
sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did
for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine,
you did for me.’

41
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from
me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for
the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry, and you
gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me
nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger, and you did not
invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me,
I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you
hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or
sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do
for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but
the righteous to eternal life.”

experiences, his values, his sentiments, his ideals, his goals.

thoughts (Ortiz, 1976).

The Meaning of Art

According to Webster, ART is

“human ingenuity in adapting
natural things to man’s use”.
The Arts and Humanities define who we are
as a people. That is their power to remind us
of what we have to offer, and what we all
have in common - to help us understand our
history and imagine our future, to give us
hopes in the moments of struggle and to bring
us together when nothing else will.”
-Michelle Obama

and

Another essential human need is the need for beauty and

order in our surroundings. These, in some way, bring us the
much-needed comfort and harmony in our lives.
 Nature of Art

and

 When we see something beautiful, it brings us joy. The pleasure we feel is known
as aesthetic pleasure, which comes from the Greek word "aesthetic," which means
"to perceive with the senses."
 Our need for beauty is rooted in a primal sense of consistency and order.
 Beauty is subjective rather than objective.
 Beauty standards varies between cultures.
 Nature of Art

and

Every work of art must be beautiful in our sight. However, this is not always the
case. We can see many works of art that we will not consider to be particularly
pleasing if we look around us. It is not always the objective of an artist to create a
beautiful subject or evoke a pleasant sensation in the viewer. He may express
displeasure at things he has seen in the human condition on occasion. He may
occasionally try to shake us out of our complacency by displaying the horrors of
deprivation, injustice, and conflict.
 Nature of Art

and
However, because "ugliness" is the subject, we can also derive aesthetic
pleasure from gazing at it if we perceive a sense of order and a
harmonious arrangement of formal features. The successful organization
of lines, colors, shapes, and spaces to convey an idea or feeling can result
in beauty in art.
 Nature of Art

and
Art has the potential to offer beauty to humanity and order to what appears to be a
chaotic world. Art is thus a Humanities subject since it inspires individuals to be
good and noble. Arts and humanities, through focusing on people, may bring
goodness to people around the world as man travels through history, searching for
realities and striving to accomplish the objectives of making a meaningful and good
life here on earth.
