I always admired artists. I am the only one in my family with no real talent in drawing. My mom is almost leagally blind but puts her face right on a small picture with a magnifying glass and makes awesome pictures or painting out of them. I am limited to some small aptitude in mechanical drawing. But praise God we all have our different gifts!

Deu 5:7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
Deu 5:8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Deu 5:9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
The seventh and the eighth verses are clearly meant to be understood in the light of the ninth. You cannot put a puzzle togeather in the wrong order and nor can you get the whole picture with pieces missing.

I think it's more understandable to me about graven images because in those days they made images to be worshipped and they had more of a purpose, like the goddess Diana.
