Rigorously studying the fundamentals of art As the world becomes more hectic and confused, people need to "stop and smell the
roses." Art and self-expression are ways to ease tension and strain. In addition to
personal satisfaction, art is an important business, whether the artist works for
themself or a commercial firm.
EXPRESSION. HISTORY. APPRECIATION.
