MY ART CLASS BEGINS

I got my first module for the college art class today: it came with a text book and supplies - this post is on one of the pieces of drawing paper supplied.

[Sketch of a house]

"There is sometimes a greater judgement shown in deviating from the rules of art, than in adhering to them; and... there is more beauty in the works of a great genius who is ignorant of all the rules of art, than in the works of a little genius, who not only knows but scrupulously observes them."

- Joseph Addison 1672-1719
"The Spectator" no. 592
September 10, 1714
