Sister Wendy

Sister Wendy was a funny and interesting woman who shares her knowledge of the historical background of these artists and different styles. She explains that the artist's experiences is what determines their art and their unique styles. They communicate with the world and share their story through art. Once you know the artist's background you can understand and appreciate their art more. For example, I never understood the beauty of Picasso's art and the message he was trying to portray until I learned his of experiences with women during his life.Sister Wendy made me understand that knowing the historical background of the artists and the era of the paintings can make you understand and appreciate the art more.

What is art to you and why?

Art is a complex concept in my life. I've never understood it, art pieces have never given me butterflies, or any extraordinary feelings like that. My interest in art has never been sparked until now. I feel that I've never given art a fair chance because it doesn't come natural to me in any way shape or form. I am more motivated and interested in art now that I have a reason to make an effort to speak with artists, attend art events, and engage in discussions with my peers about art.
