Hello dear friends,
Due to the fact that 4-H is rapidly upon us, I will be taking a short break from posting and be back next week. I shall leave you with some quotes for you to ponder while I'm away. Although the last two aren't really about art, I had to share them with you.

"The whole difference between a construction and a creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists." -G.K. Chesterton

"There is at the back of every artist's mind... the landscape of his dreams; the strange flora and fauna of his own secret planet; the sort of thing he likes to think about. This general atmosphere... governs all his creations, however varied." -G. K. Chesterton

"The artistic temperament is a disease which afflicts amateurs." -G. K. Chesterton

"An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered." -G.K. Chesterton

"Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese." -G. K. Chesterton

-See ya'll next week!

Hello all! I hope you are enjoying the drawing blog! Since I won't be able to post this week's lesson right now, I thought I'd give you some "art quotes."

  

"Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better."  ~André Gide

  

"Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do.  Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom."  ~Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Orthodoxy

  

"What was any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself - life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose."  ~Willa Cather

  

"Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere." ~G.K. Chesterton

  

"There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect."  ~G.K. Chesterton
