Thirteen Things About Art

1. i hate picasso...i just don't get it.
2. ruben had the right idea about women...theyre meant to be full figured and curvy, not a popsicle stick.
3. so what if georgia o'keefe's flowers are really female genitalia...that should be considered a beautiful body part.
4. i never see what anyone finds attractive about the mona lisa. she's jaundiced and needs a better hairdo.
5. art is anything that doesnt make you want to mow it over, paint it black, or send it to space on an exploratory UFO.
6. your art might be someone else's recycling materials.
7. beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. not everyone likes all eras, mediums, styles, etc. and thats why there's variety, and ITS the spice of life. :)
8. pencil drawings are my fave thing to do...i find them very relaxing, and a great way to de-stress.
9. Andrew Wyeth created some lovely pictures of both people and landscapes.
10. Arthur Rackham is an amazing painter. his illustrations of children's books are truly beautiful.
11. everyone is an artist; we just have different mediums...some of us are artists of people, bringing folks together and creating "social art"; others use traditional mediums.
12. all children should have art classes...everyone needs to draw, color, paint, explore.
and finally:
13. art is not just a skill you were born with...style and ability, like anything, are developed through use and practice. so, go be artsy! :)
