‘A R T . . .’

The Class.
The Teacher.
The Grade.
The FUTURE.

The ART CLASS:
A class in which you learn ART

ART –
(7.) the principles or methods governing any craft or branch of learning: the art of baking; the art of selling . . . The Art of LOVE . . . THE ART OF WAR!

There is an ART to doing all things . . . ART is not about pretty pictures . . . . it’s about LIFE.
What you end up doing with it . . . can be ultimately beautiful . . . breath-taking . . .

FACTS:
In ART, one must learn TECHNIQUES.
In ART, the ART is based on the EYE of the Beholder.

LEARN the techniques . . . but MAKE THEM YOUR OWN.

The TEACHER:
There will be many in one’s lifetime – Some will teach what TO DO . . . others are there to teach what NOT TO DO.

See them for what they are and figure out how to interpret the lesson.

The GRADE:
Grades only count on PAPER.
SCORES only count to people keeping score.

Know this – While ONE does not live by someone else’s grade – the WORLD always keeps score. Figure out a way to REMAIN in the GAME . . . but do not allow someone’s score card to dictate one’s own worth.

The FUTURE:
WHEN does one stop learning? If one spends all their time trying to just GET OUT of class, one will never appreciate the journey of LEARNING.

There is an ART to doing ALL THINGS . . . figure out how to stay IN CLASS.
