"Function over form."
God created us with different gifts. Engineers who work for the glory of God design machines that make life easier. The Lord also created artists, who make life more pleasant by creating beautiful things for the glory of God and the enjoyment of others.
When we think of art in worship, we usually think of music. But other art forms have long had a role in glorifying God. The calling of Bezalel demonstrates God’s regard for fine art ( Ex. 35:30-35 ). God commissioned him to beautify the first official place of worship: the tabernacle. God’s purpose for the arts is “to glorify God and to manifest beauty.”
[The Lord] has filled him with the Spirit of God... to design artistic works.
Exodus 35:31-32
