Enduring Understandings No matter how much you read, oil painting requires practice and patience!

A dry brush, oil, and turpentine are important to a successful and enjoyable painting experience.

Art has served as a tool of diplomacy on more than one occasion.

WWII increased American interest in Japanese art rather than diminishing it.

Traditional Chinese and Japanese artists value line quality above things like composition (highly valued in the West) because of their high regard for exceptional calligraphy.

Chinese and Japanese artists created work for a variety of reasons, but it often is elongated in appearance, has flattened space, is shown from an aerial perspective, depicts natural subject matter, and is done in ink or watercolors.
