    simplistic and elegant form- almost spiritual in its presentation. The simplicity of form is spiritual in nature.

    Hooray for ArtsMemphis teaming up with Live from Memphis! This wonderful piece is not just about Botero; it's a mini-documentary about Brooks and how they put exhibitions together, how they choose exhibitions from year to year, and who the people are behind the scenes who make it all happen. Most important, they get to show their PASSION for what the do! Kudos to Live From Memphis and Christopher on a great video! Collapse

    I had to go to the Museum to view an exhibit for my online summer school art class-- I was very excited when I realized this was the perfect timing b/c Andy Warhol's exhibit was there. What a GREAT experience this was! I was able to see all the paintings and screenprints in living color. I'm so glad I went. It was worth every second. I can't wait to begin writing my paper about my experience. Collapse

    I would so much like to support the idea of introducing art therapy in Uganda especially in the war ravaged areas of Northern Uganda where i happen to come from.I remember doing art therapy with Mutebi Fred and also visiting Hope north.During these interaction i was able to learn a lot from these children especially the former child soldiers.Most of the girls are raped,defiled and the boys have killed and this remains in their minds,and only art can make the change we would like to see in us,since these are the future leaders who are being ignored by the community.They need protection and care in order to re-establish normalcy and be part of the global community.However,those who come up to volunteer and help these children should stand by their objectives and avoid corruption when they get assistance from others to support their community based organizations.I got so touched and made my own illustrations and paintings after researching on Art therapy in the north,topic:WAR Collapse

    This is by far one of the best pieces of art I have ever seen. The girl who made it must be an amazing artist; probably just an all around amazing person. She means the world to someone.
