Historically Christian Liberal Arts was either supported or
controlled by the Corporate Worship system.
Here are my raw and unfiltered notes on the subject.
From RT Hon Lord Richard Harries lecture on the
The First Christian Art and its early Developments.
Found on Youtube
I can't show you the images
Early Christian Art that survives are found in
the Roman Catacombs from the third to fifth
centuries.
75 % of them are of a funeral in nature
13 % of them are of Christian in origin
Late last century underneath St. Peters
basilica. A mosaic created between 250-275AD
depicting Christ wearing a halo as the sun god.
God protection as a theme
The use of Daniel 6:16-23; 3:1-7, 20
Jesus resurrecting Lazarus from the dead as
a theme
John 11:43-44
Narrative stories
Based on Jonah 1
Cycle begins with him being thrown off the ship;
Being swallowed by the great fish; going to
paradise; resting under a vine.
Paradise was based on a roman myth where the moon
fell in love with a beautiful girl and having
her moved there.

Late third early fourth century stories began
to be place on sarcophagi.
No artwork in the Greek Orthodoxy can be found from the ninth century
because Emperor Leo III fearing Islam wanted to banned icons. Using thou shalt not make graven images exodus 20:3; deut. 5:7
This magisterial movement was started in the seventh and
ended in the ninth century. Its purpose was to
destroy Christian artwork. However a monk named John of Damascus was in favor of icons. Would go on to use 1 Tim 3:16 in reference to Christ as the image of God manifested in the flesh. Making images was a good thing. Icons are 1D models of people with Halos on their head. Whereas the east was struggling on this topic. The West continued drawing Icons on the behalf of the Catholic Corporate System of Thought.

Revival of Classical Christian Art from either Constantine
or Justina period of rule
Carolinian art found on a water bucket from 860-880
Ivory book cover from 850-890
The fight between those who wish to continue to use Icon
and those who despised them ended in 843AD
Found in the Hagias Sophia
Arch mosaic of Mary sitting on a royal seat and Jesus on her
lap. Unveiled in 867AD (The exact sermon preached by
Patriarch Photius on its unavailing still exists today.)
We live in a time in which individuals can change how their
worldview impacts the arts.
