So, Art is important because it touches everyones life it is a mark of civilization it is a mark of who we are.  We see great monuments and buildings throughout time and that is important ya know.  Art, art really is a part of who we are and having an appreciation for art is a mark of civilization.  We have these great monuments.  Every great city has it’s monuments.  And there is ya know a lot of great cities.  There is Chicago, There is New York, There is L.A.  There is a lot of smaller towns too.  On the coast.  There is Seattle; Portland; Portland, Maine; Portland, OR.  Ya know, even the smaller towns they have there own sets and set of artists.  Um, so it is important to remember that.  There is art throughout the world, ya know.  You see great museums and great pieces of architecture, and great monuments.  It is the little things too.  Ya know, it is the design of your clothing, your car, or ya know something that is important to you. And that is really important.
