FA 200 Final Review

Keri Jeter quote about art

"I know there are art enthusiasts in town who think art should be elite, it should be high brow ... There are definitely some people who don't think that everyone should be an artist, but I disagree. Art is for everyone ... You are going to bore a lot of people if their only thought of art is a stuffy museum or something like that. It's not inspiring to everyone."
