It is amazing to see modern day technology helping us to discover all the hidden details in the huge world of art. This helped me realized that art correlates with everything, and that art isn’t all about what is on the canvas; it is about the history along with present and future. It is eye opening to learn about the careers in the art field that are not traditional,
