I graduated from high school without learning anything about any artist including Leonardo da Vinci.
It’s sad but that is that is the reality. During elementary school, we drew pictures using water colors, usually about Kuwait and our families. Junior high, I don’t even remember having an art classes! High school, I had one Art class as an elective and I don’t remember learning anything!

My first visit to the MoMA in NYC was a joke. I didn’t appreciate anything and I made fun of those who were staring at pictures forever! I just didn’t get it. It seems like I’ve lost my sense of art, or maybe I didn’t have any at the first place!

After I found myself lonely in the world of stupidity, I dragged myself to go with my friends to “First Friday art walk” here in Richmond every month. I started appreciating art more and more, and look beyond what the artist had scrapped on the paper. I started looking up artists online and reading about their work. After only a couple years from my first visit to the MoMa I admit that “Art is a wonderful thing.”

One of my favorite arts is the “Vitruvian Man” by Leonardo da Vinci, it’s amazing how he mixed art with science to come up with such an incredible pace of art.

Who is your favorite artist? Why?
