Although my time may be up in this course, I just happened to stumble across a great video that I believe best summarizes the course. I hope it helps Dr.Preston and his students. Enjoy.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kHpXle4NqWI

The Meaning of Art

What is Art? Art is creating something from nothing. It's a universal theme that can be understood from any age. It brings us closer with others. Every artistic piece tells a story, whether its lyrically or visually. It's building something to your preference that you'll be proud of. Some may criticize, while others admire. It's finding beauty among things we take for granted. Art is a story that has been passed down from generation to generation since the beginning of time. Art is; creativity, beauty, and inspiration.

Fine Work...

While I was in Vegas this past weekend, these three paintings were the few that really caught my eye. From a distance, I thought they were pictures but the closer I approached, I then realized they were paintings. Something about these paintings really spoke out and at that moment I enjoyed them even more due to knowing the artist did a great job on capturing an audience and telling a story.

Not just a Hobby

Art by Peers

Art by live Artist, in person
