It\u2019s summer everyone, and you know what that means right? Pool parties, vacations and visiting the Dayton Art Institute. That last one might not sound as exciting to some but believe it or not, there\u2019s much you can learn about yourself and about the world around you simply by gazing upon colored oil on a canvas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a child, I always loved arts and crafts and being homeschooled allowed me to further explore and master these topics. As I have aged, however, I have gained a certain appreciation for the works of some of the great artists such as Picasso or Michaelangelo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So during this summer semester, exclusively on the Clarion Website, I will be examining and comparing certain pieces of art. So grab your paintbrush and have a seat, as Claude\u2019s Column presents to you the painting of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the start of the summer semester, I have closely studied and admired two rather extraordinary paintings courtesy of the ace of abstract himself, Pablo Picasso<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
