Art for our sake: eight
Ever wondered what art is all about, what art is for, who is it for? For that matter, what is art? All of this week's reviews touch on this issue. When I tell people that I volunteer at an art museum, it's not unusual for the conversation to include them saying that they know nothing about art. Let me turn that argument on its head. I attended a series of presentations recently about African heritage art and one of the presenters in particular made a point that we are all art experts. We all know something about art because we have all created art at some point, we have all seen and appreciated paintings, sculptures, buildings, statues and other forms of art. More importantly, we all have opinions about art. This edition of Art for our sake, explores this theme.

With the prized artwork in his grasp, he descended the back stairs of the Louvre. Freedom seemed within reach, but then a two-fold dilemma presented itself: the exit was locked, and approaching footsteps threatened to expose him. Clutched tightly under Peruggia's arm was none other than Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, the "Mona Lisa." It is arguably the world's most renowned painting today. But how did this iconic status come to be?

The Enduring Power of Human Innovation
The question of what might be humanity's greatest invention often doesn't get the attention it deserves. It's a topic that can spark captivating discussions with a wide range of potential answers. Some might argue passionately for fire, given its significance in providing warmth, protection, and transforming how we prepare our meals.
