As you study these artists, pay attention to how they creatively used light in their masterful works. If God had not created the light, they would not have been able to use it so well.
Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
God saw that the light was good
God separated the light from the darkness.
- Genesis 1:3 - 4
