Art though the Ages

Hi! I am new to the blog and I am just helping out around the CWC Library (like an internship) and this is my first major assignment.

I chose the topic because it is a form of expression, and I wanted my first exhibit to be meaningful and art is full of meaning from subtle hints to ginormous ones. I'm not asking you to become there biggest fan but you should notice it, at least enough to see the whole picture.

Everyone wants to do something to be remembered by, do you want to be forgotten completely 10 years after you die, no you don't and they didn't either. That's why they drew and painted things to last a really long time. They wanted to be remembered though the ages not just for someone else a thousand years ago, but for today.
