This quote by artist Ad Reinhart is what University of Southern Miss Student, Blake O'Brien, lives by.
In his time at Southern Miss he has grown from a young kid interested in art to a diligent student who incorporates art into every part of his life.
"Reading about art and learning about it directly, literally just figuring out how painting works and what it's about really relates to everything. I think everything is really relative." said O'Brien.
O'Brien's interest started at a young age with music and drawing. His passion for the field and learning in general has grown during his time at Southern Miss.
He believes that while not all art has meaning, it is essential to understand the theories of art in order to gain a greater appreciation.
