“You can’t have art without love…”
…and you can’t spell smart without art either. Well, I’ve printed my “You can’t spell smart without art” logo onto a t-shirt, and that’s what I wore to school today. One teacher even told me that I should’ve done art after seeing it. Many of my classmates have said that to me before, but I think it’s the first time I’ve had a teacher say that. Assembly was cancelled, but I didn’t get to sign out early this time.
The highlight of the day was after school. I went to see the opening of the “Art Expressed” show at the Ku-ring-gai Art Centre. There’s a lot of variation in what people do for their HSC major work. There was a meaningful speech made by someone who’s teaching there too. One quote I remember the most is “You can’t have art without love”.
It was such a coincidence that I was still wearing the t-shirt that said “you can’t spell smart without art”. I got the idea for the phrase from a maths teacher (who’s not at my school anymore) who commented “What’s a smart girl like Anne doing art for?” after being told that Anne was on an art excursion. I hope that wasn’t serious.What a good day! So what if the maths extension 1 assessment had a really difficult question in it?
