The themes that I chose from The Last Lecture to depict in my art project are; brick walls are there for a reason, and make a decision: Tigger or Eeyore.

We have read great thinkers and their philosophies on this, and the fact that even people of such great intelligence can disagree on the subject proves how challenging it can be. By reading the opinions of these great thinkers, and by discussing their…

I enjoy driving by spray painted depictions of Martin Luther King, local landscapes, and renderings of past events.
