Catalog description

Why art? Why choose art? What does art do for you and for the world? What can you do, say, feel, or know through art that might be difficult to accomplish by other means? How does art stimulate an engagement with the world and, in turn, how do we use that engagement to better understand ourselves? Whether you go on to be a practicing artist, a patron, an avid reader, or a weekend museum-goer, how can the principles of art help you reflect on the life you make for yourself?
