basic art classes

I think Eugene Delacroix would be mortified to know he started the modernist art movement...

"The use of linear perspective had had a great influence upon the development of art in the western cultures, but, in the art of today, it is being cast aside by many who feel that art is more an extended expression of themselves than a mirroring of nature and reality. In some cases, I view this as a lazy excuse to avoid the hard labor of learning to draw."- some book on perspective that I failed to write the title of for future reference, I didn't know how often I would recall this quote
"They muddy the water to make it seem deep. "- Friedrich Nietzsche

"Life is deep and simple and what our society gives us is shallow and complicated. "- Fred Rogers
