I came today morning to my office and was pleasantly surprised that today is off. It seems I did not read the the Eid holidays circular carefully.
This surprise, and I don’t know how, led to me to a discussion with the cleaner on what Art is? who preferred to serve me a very satisfactory cup of coffee and do his job.

A simple line may be defined as a continuous mark, made on a surface, by a moving point and it is long relative to its width! But when Art is applied, this line may define a space, shape an outline or pattern, imply movement or character, or indicate to mass or volume.

Art plays an important role in making our live infinitely rich.

Imagine what would be the impact on our life if there was no art?
Look at the desk where you are, right this moment. Someone designed that. It is art. The graphics on your computer is art. The icon on your screen is art. Your shoes are art. Your shirt is art. Your coffee cup is art. All designs, though functional, are art. Art actually is something that is both functional and pleasing to our eyes.

Art stimulates different parts of our brains to make us laugh, cry, meditate, focus, analyze, choose a behavior, define an identity, express ourselves, be creative and all with a whole range of emotions in between.

Art is subjective, and may mean something different to every single person.
Art is a constant state of change.

Good... I'm still able to know in words what I know in thoughts...

How good was this coffee!
