Art Disaster

The best thing I can draw are a few stick figures standing in an ugly flower garden.  I can't distinguish a Van Gogh from a Monet.  To me, Rembrandt is a brand of toothpaste. And, wait, red and blue make purple, right?

As you can see, I'm certainly not an Art buff.  Give me music or movies any day, but art....it just ain't my thing!  And with my first big Art Education 101 test less than 48 hours away, I'm kinda freaking out.  The test is made up of multiple choice questions on the stuff we've covered in class:  style, blah blah blah, dynamic, more blahs, types of painting, yadda-yadda, and so on. You get the picture? (Wow...no pun intended!)  I don't know what it is, but this art stuff is just not clicking with me.  The only thing that's going to save me are the identification questions and the extra credit.  For the I.D. questions, all we have to do is look at a picture and identify the title and artist. (Pure memory...hopefully, I can handle that.)

So, for the next 2 days, I'm going to be neck deep in an art book!  Believe me, this is not my idea of a good time, but hopefully all of this studying will pay off so that maybe one day I will AT LEAST be able to draw a few stick figures standing in a pretty flower garden.
