SO WHY DO WE BELIEVE IT IS IMPORTANT?

Art is not only a way to express ourselves using a variety of different media. It is also a cultural and social link to the past, be it through the images created or the materials used. Design is fundamental to the smooth flow of everyday life. Aesthetically pleasing, ergonomically designed objects and environments can enhance or detract from a persons everyday experiences in life

This world is but a canvas to our imagination.

Henry David Thoreau
