become my view of ‘making art’ before I attend college. Taking the first drawing class in college hence becomes the hinge of my perception of arts.

PAY IT FORWARD 2 QUESTIONS PER PAGE ASSIGNMENT Questions: 11. Is it possible for one person to change the world? Why or why not? I think it is possible for someone to change the world‚ but not alone.

The hunger artist used fasting as a form of artistic endeavor for his own liking‚ but the art is soon turned
