Topic #4 "Who do you talk to about art?"

Mainly, I talk to my friend Mariya about art. Other than the fact that we are usually together at least 7 hours a day, I believe we have similar viewpoints in art. We have the same classes, so it is easy for us to talk about the same topics, as well as discuss what we have seen in class and galleries. We show each other pretty much anything we find that is interesting. In a way, she is like a sister to me; someone so close that a lot of times you share the same thoughts. We also critique each others work; it is very nice to have someone your level right there with you for support.

Other than her, I used to listen to my mother and sister discuss about art many times. Also, I ask my mother for critique on my work (obviously this is when I was with her; she lives in a different state at the moment.) Even though she is not an artist, she is very well educated and have interests in many fields, so I know that her critique is still reliable, and I like the fact that I can get a different sort of opinion than what I get at school.

I don't usually talk about art so much in general, but it is interesting to do so sometimes.
