If you were commissioned to paint a 21st century version of the Last Judgment,
who would you depict being cast into Heaven / Hell? |

Judgment
of one sort or another, and particularly the Last Judgment, has always
been a popular theme in art. It is used as a potent way of commenting
on the social issues of the time and relating them to beliefs about
God and the human condition.
As well as depicting who you might cast into Heaven / Hell, how might
you depict a modern scene of heaven and hell to show what you think
is good or bad about today's society. |

The theme of final judgment - your life choices catching up with you - would
work well for a poem or short piece of creative writing. What, in the end,
do people hope for? Justice, or mercy? What do condemnation and forgiveness
feel like? Does hope figure anywhere on the scene?
