in this post i will inform you as to what i think is the best part of my class for which this blog is occasionally put to use. i think the best part was the artwork showed in the book. it's awesome. it's new and different and i've enjoyed it most thoroughly. i particularly enjoyed the artwork by those asian masters that we saw back a few chapters ago. i especially enjoyed the 'swallow and water lily' piece. the clean, simple lines and the expert use of negative space yielded an uncluttered, natural experience.
