Welcome

You guys ready to look at some art?  Haha, it's going to be fun!  Just to set some context, I didn't know the first thing about art at all until my senior year of high school when I took an art history class just as an elective.  So this is based off what I learned there and what I've learned since.  I am no art connoisseur, not by a long shot, but herein relates what I've learned and what I think.  At the start, I want to cite Gene A. Mitler's textbook Art in Focus as my main source.

               This moment, if you join me, we begin
               A partnership where both must toil to hold
               The clue that I caught first.  We lose or win
               Together; if you read, you are enrolled.
