As my final comment, I want to leave everyone with a passage from a practice drill I was doing in order to study for the MCAT. Although I don't know who this author is, its message was not lost on me. The part that imprinted on me and which will most likely stay in my mind for awhile is the following excerpt from the above passage. It is the most eloquently and beautifully phrased description of art's true existence that I have ever read:
"Art's true reality, though, lies in neither tinctured pigment, smoothed on canvas nor the splendid stories brilliantly told by brush strokes, but in the eyes, hearts, and minds of those who drink its visions with their souls."
Best of luck to everyone in this class on their journeys throughout life.

Yes --and oh, sometimes, the struggle to express (intensities of) what interactions with aesthetic products
generate within the body of a responder
(the body that provides structure, scaffolding for a mind, so supported, is freed from having to concentrate on support?)
--oh yes; a reason to include what imagination (something real), what mind (something real)
can contribute to what is done/produced that can be considered not (to emphasize the) aesthetic
which is potentially present
--so I don't have to set out to make an aesthetic product, just a poem, just the outcomes of any kind of making,
for mind is able to identify those aesthetic particles that can converge and convene into aesthetic structures
even in unlikely places,
war torn areas,
defiance gardens
for instance.
Thank you.
