Art History, Period 1, Class 9 [3-21]
"Good morning, class," said Steve. "Today's topic is the European Renaissance. There were a number of very interesting social and academic aspects to the Renaissance, involving a return to 'classical' values, but we are as always interested in the art. In the Renaissance, there was a return to realism in art, away from the flat, stylized forms of medieval art, especially icons, and back to the classical, more accurate representation of form. Artists also began figuring out how to represent perspective on a flat surface. They were also interested in light. Not like Thomas Kinkade. We do not speak of him." Steve went on to lecture some more on Renaissance art and why it was so awesome, finishing up with, "Mona Lisa. Discuss."

At first, anyway. Halfway through the lecture, all of his attention was going to a particularly nice margin doodle of some guy on a horse. No, a unicorn. A.J. added a horn, but it was a goring unicorn, denoted so by the drips from the end of the horn, which he by no means added just to make a case for his manliness, really.
Re: Discuss
A.J. was never going to get over that; it was the biggest damn mind trip ever. Well, not the biggest, but it was up there.

She'd been reading all those art books she got at the museum.
