"I think art is a form of creative expression, but I think it can also be seen in nature. To me, that’s my favorite type of art—landscapes and stuff like that—because it kind of brings you back to what was here before us."
"Art is extremely important and possibly the only way humans can really express their humanness. And today a lot of technology and culture can be dehumanizing. But the way to fight that is through making your own art."
“The big thing about art for me is…I like appreciating it and how the artist went through it. So that’s what really art is to me.” “I love art. It’s continuously around us. We can find art in the smallest things. It’s whether or not we want to pay attention to it that we then classify it as art.”
"Um. I really don’t like art. I think that it’s boring, and anything could be technically art these days. So no one even knows what it is."
"Art is the defining characteristic of a human being."

This is an advertisement at a bus stop in front of South Shore High School. The angle is weird because I was on the B6 when I took the picture.
