Blog Entry Assignment #6

1. After completing this blog, will you ever write about art again?
Yes- I feel that it is a good learning experience to be able to view art work and then put that information down in writing. By doing so I can concentrate more on my own thoughts about art, compositions or anything else. It allows me to be open with myself as I write thinking as I go about new ideas. Also when I write about art I am learning new processes in art and becoming exposed to various artists.
