She stated treat"" there is a distinction between art seen as artificiality, and genuine art. The first is art as decoration; a way of making life prettier. The second is art as a way of creating new forms of reality. Every truly creative process is an endless ex- ploration. Quoting from "The Courage to Create": "It is absurd to think of• artists simply painting nature as if they were only anachronistiop otographers of trees, lakes and moun- tains.

Lorna Vincent, in charge of the program, spoke on • "What is Art?" starting a general discussion on the endless aspects of this subject. "Art is many things to many people, a universal thing which speaks to the viewer regardless of his or her culture. It is the stuff of life, not always beautiful, but should engender an emotional response from the viewer. Art is a way of ex- pressing ourselves in our everyday life. We all par- ticipate in art regardless of whether or not we un- derstand it."
