Cop task 5 presentation

COP 1: Aesthetics “Once upon a time there was pure art and applied art (I prefer to use these terms, rather than 'fine' and 'commercial', because 'commercial art' does not cover enough ground). At all events, forms were born in secret in ivory towers and fathered by divine inspiration, and Artists showed them only to initiates and only in the shape of paintings and pieces of sculpture: for these were the only channels of communication open to the old forms of art.�

"You should definitely visit the Louvre, a world famous art museum where you can view,at close range,the backs of thousands of other tourists trying to see the Mona Lisa"-Dave Barry
