Description This is just another sketch I did with what free time I had this week (between studying and working on school work).

I've long admired this quote from the famous Alexander the Great of Macedon. I see in this quote that he is saying that simple people can be led to great heights with a strong leader. But strong people cannot be led to great lengths by a weak leader.

This is seen constantly in history, a strong leader has led even the most dispared nation back to the brink of greatness. Yet great leaders aren't confined to any social ranking or ethnicity, it's all based on the will and skill of the person who is driving that charge.

You're welcome.  I think there are classes in art history if you wanted to take some just for fun.

An alternative to going to classes is to find an art history course from Great Courses.  I have been wanting to try them out for quite a while myself.

You can find samplers on YouTube and they have an official site to order from.  They have videos as well as audio books.  They run on the concept of just learning without having to worry about grades and homework.
