Art Trends That Follow Current Events

]]> Often art trends follow the current events of a country or the world. What topics are “hot” now that you can focus on?

  • Gardening, especially at the White House
  • Dogs/pets and the Portuguese water dog at the White House
  • Immigration and immigrants
  • Graduations
  • Weddings
  • Pirates
  • Taxes – I suppose I could do a page in my Page-a-Day Tea Book book on the recent TEA parties, protesting higher taxes, reminiscent of the Boston Tea Party of pre-Revolutionary War days.
  • Environmental topics
