A simple nod to Sophia, as she clarified. There were some students here that might appeal. At the topic on brushes with death...
...If she only knew. "It is... A small wonder to me, that our lives- short as they may seem- can carry such a propensity for change." Some far more than others.
Ms. Greene's views were similar to his own. "I have less experience in blendings of styles, though I can see the merit in it... patterns can be made from just about anything, even something that at a glance may not seem symmetrical?" He ventured, wondering if that was what she meant.
Shodan didn't seem to carry many connections in these fields- perhaps he wished to find a place to start?
Whatever the case, his view wasn't at all uncommon in Jean's experience. "I am more in agreement with Ms. Greene here. Art certainly can be made to be provocative, and for that reason it is of great importance. However, not every piece must be made to challenge." Jean didn't see it as the sole purpose. "Art that is beautiful can provoke, and art that provokes can be beautiful. Some prefer the former, others the latter, but both are still art. Preference merely comes down to the beholder." His own view on it. Ms. Greene perhaps put it better. She was proving to be enjoyable company- now the Mastigos definitely wished to thanks her friends; perhaps even meet them, if they were as capable as she.
Regardless of his views, another nod as Papilio was in great agreement with Sophia- compared to everything else the Mastigos had to contend with, discussions about the merits of artistic styles were quite tame. "I am glad this event allowed us the opportunity, then."
