To whom it may concern:

(The Artist that will be doing this piece for me.)

The following is the Commissioned Contract in detail of the description of what I would like the Sculpture to embody at the new Interfaith Cultural and Historical Center.

• Firstly I would like the Sculpture to be an original piece based on the morals and views of Christianity. I think this would be very important for the new Interfaith Cultural and Historical Center because the basis of Christianity and what everyone always discusses about Christianity all starts with a moral standing and their moral views.  The morals that are stated by “God” himself is permanent and are never going to change, and never have changed, so I would think that it would be very appropriate.
• This commissioned piece will also have to reflect an Individual’s role, and how they appreciate their God, and their Religion even in today’s society. Moral codes are the basis of how we live, and should be our law on how we decide how to act in our life. These “laws” allow us (Christians) to respect “our God”, and to praise him by following any sort of order that he has created forth for Christians.
• This plays a huge part in early Christianity, because this is what we have as our guidelines for Christian faith and how to respect and love for their Christian God. Laws and Morals are the center of our well-being, it teaches us wrong and right; gives us a guideline, a simple access to understand how Christians should live our lives day by day. Without this aspect there wouldn’t be any sort of idea of how to live and how to respect others and “God”, these would be important for the teachings of Christianity.
• The huge importance of this piece is to remind people. Just because we have morals and laws to guide Christians, doesn’t mean they always go by this. This piece would remind Christians where things started and how everything began. I think this would also allow people to see how things have changed throughout the years and years since these “laws” were put into place. With over 6.9 billion Christians in the world, you never know how many are going to see this piece, and who it may touch.
• Lastly for this sculpture, I would like it to look a certain manner. I would prefer a stone or ceramic, possibly dirty. I don’t want it to appear clean and shiny because this was the basis of Christianity; which occurred a long, long time ago. The following three words would be preferred: Rustic, Old, Decaying. If you were to be able to picture seeing it, in the time of early Christianity

Thank you for allowing me to commission you for my art piece.
